MILWAUKEE — The Rufus King swim team is on a roll this season. Last week, they earned their third straight conference win.

"This group is different," Assistant Coach Luke Laga said. "We've got so many horses in the stable, it's not just one carrying the weight. The only reason we're winning is because we're a whole team."

"The grit comes from the coaches and the team," senior captain Spencer Laga said. "Also, we're able to hold ourselves accountable."

The biggest moment of their season came when they smashed the 200-yard medley relay record, which had stood since 1984. They broke it by more than a second.

"I didn't know there was a record," Mosley Patzke joked. "It was crazy. My coach Pete and Luke, they were both jumping up and down. It was cool."
