Mounds View senior Danny Bai upset Class AA state record holder Joey Zelen of Duluth East in the 50 yard freestyle to earn a state championship at Jean K. Freeman Aquatic Center in Minneapolis on Saturday evening.

In the prelims, Zelen swam a Class AA record 19.80 seconds in the 50 free, but dropped to 20.48 in the finals, allowing Bai to leapfrog him on the leaderboard with his time of 20.30.

Bai finished runner-up to Zelen in the 100 freestyle, despite posting an automatic All-American time of 44.52.

Bai said it was surreal to win a state championship in the 50 free in his final high school meet.

“I guess it like sunk in, but it still doesn’t feel real,” Bai said. “I felt really good and I focused on my start, focused on my turn, and it ended up being a good swim.”

Bai said he learned from the prelims that his start in the 100 free was “lacking” and adjusted it for the finals, which paid off with a personal best time.

Megahan’s swim of his life

Irondale senior Lucas Megahan, a University of South Dakota commit, saved his personal best for the perfect moment in the 200 freestyle.

He delivered a time of 1 minute, 38.62 seconds, good for second place behind only Rochester Mayo’s Kai Joyner. Joyner set a new state meet record with a time of 1:35.03.

Megahan said his mindset was to swim with abandon and aggressiveness in his final state meet.

“I just went for it,” Megahan said. “When I saw the time, I was very happy with it … I knew everything was on the line. It’s my senior year, so I just had to go for it, and it worked out well.”

Megahan said it means a lot to earn All-American consideration in his best finish at a state meet in his career.

Lor’s diving dominance

Champlin Park freshman Pengxu Lor crushed the competition in the 1-meter diving finals. Lor created separation early and built on it each round, finishing with a score of 536.30. The runner-up, Edina’s Edward Frey, trailed Lor by 57.05 points.

Lor said it was “disappointing” falling short of the state record set by Rosemount’s Lucas Gerten back in 2024 of 539.60, but an exciting feeling to be a state champion.

“I do want to come back and get it,” Lor said. “I know it’s possible.”

Hornets three-peat

Edina won its third consecutive Class AA state swimming and diving title. The Hornets had three divers finish in the top four spots in diving, compiling 48 points, which proved to be the decisive swing in the meet.

Minnetonka led through four events but did not have a single diver place and fell behind for the rest of the state championship. Edina tallied 340 points as a team, compared to 312 for the Skippers.

The regular season came to an end for the St. Thomas basketball teams on Saturday, with the women losing at Oral Roberts and the men defeating Omaha at home. Both squads now turn attentions to their respective Summit League Championship tournaments this coming week.

Tommies men 68, Omaha 53

A 68-53 defeat of Omaha earned the St. Thomas men’s basketball team a 22-8 overall regular season record and cemented the Tommies as the No. 2 team in the final Summit League regular-season standings with an 11-4 conference record heading into circuit’s postseason tournament next week.

Leading 31-28 at halftime, St. Thomas took control of the game after the break, outscoring Omaha (15-16 overall, 8-8 Summit) by 12 points in the second half. Nolan Minessale led all scorers with 20 points. Minessale was the Tommies’ lone double-digit scorer in the contest, though Ben Oosterban, Carter Bjerke, and Nick Janowski each logged nine points as Austin Herro tallied eight points to go with a game-high eight rebounds — seven of which came on the defensive end.

Next up for St. Thomas is the Summit League Championship playoffs, with the second-seeded Tommies first game against No. 7 South Dakota State (14-17, 7-9) scheduled for Thursday 25 minutes after the end of the first playoff game of the night, which starts at 6 p.m. An opening-round win puts UST into the semifinals on Saturday night, with the conference title game to take place at 8 p.m. Sunday.

Oral Roberts 67, Tommies women 52

The St. Thomas women (15-15 overall, 8-8 Summit) wrapped up a .500 regular season with a 67-52 loss at Oral Roberts. The Tommies battled back from an initial deficit to forge a 27-27 halftime tie, but could not keep pace with the Golden Eagles (15-4, 8-8) after the break.

Alyssa Sand was the lone St. Thomas player to hit double-digit scoring, recording a game-high 19 points. Mikayla Werner led the Tommies with six rebounds, but the visitors had no counter for Oral Roberts’ Kayten Donley, who logged 15 rebounds (12 defensive) with 12 points and five assists.

The two teams are slated to meet again in the first round of the Summit playoffs, scheduled for noon Friday in Sioux Falls, S.D., a win would propel St. Thomas into a semifinal matchup at noon Saturday. The Summit women’s title game is slated for 3 p.m. Sunday.

The St. Thomas men’s hockey team got back to its winning ways Saturday night at Bemidji State, though the Tommies did miss out on a CCHA regular-season title.

One night after being upended by the Beavers, No. 17 ranked St. Thomas claimed a come-from-behind shootout victory after playing the Beavers to a 2-2 draw through three periods and an overtime session.

Nathan Pilling got the game off the ground with a power play goal at 17:14 of the first period to put visiting UST up 1-0 heading into the middle frame.

However, the Beavers struck back for a pair of goals in the second — an even-strength score at 13:27, and a power-play strike at 19:03 — to take a 2-1 edge into the third.

The Tommies returned fire, knotting the score at 2-2 as Caige Sterzer scored the lone goal of the period at 2:35 to send the game into overtime.

After a scoreless extra session, Lucas Wahlin logged the only goal of the shootout round to give the victory to St. Thomas.

Tommies goaltender Carsen Musser, who allowed three goals on 21 shots Friday night, topped his 18-save total from that game before the second intermission on Saturday en route to 28-save performance.

While the shootout win did clinch home-ice advantage for the CCHA’s Mason Cup quarterfinals, St. Thomas missed out on claiming the conference’s regular-season title by a single point. No. 18 Minnesota State leapfrogged into the top spot in the final CCHA standings on the strength of a 3-0 victory against Northern Michigan on Saturday, hopping over No. 14 Augustana (idle), No. 16 Michigan Tech (a 4-3 OT loss to Bowling Green), and the Tommies.

St. Thomas claimed the No. 2 seed for the Mason Cup, finishing near the front of a five-team scrum that saw just two points separating No. 1 and No. 5. The Tommies will face seventh-seeded Lake Superior State in the opening game. Game time is TBD, with the Mason Cup quarterfinal round slated to be played this coming Friday through Sunday.
