The Nevada Neptunes were in Monett last weekend for a meet, competing against 12 other teams.

Badgley was also second in the 50-yard butterfly, joining two other Neptunes swimmers with second places.

Emma Denman was second in the girls 8-and-under 25-yard freestyle and Morgan Hold did the same in the boys 10-and-under 100-yard individual medley.

Badgley also led the third place swimmers with two of her own in the 50-yard freestyle and the 100-yard freestyle.

Megan Messick was third in the 100-yard individual medley, and Andrew Messick did just as well in the 50-yard freestyle in the boys 8-and-under class.

The best relay finish for the Neptunes was in the boys 10-and-under 100-yard medley. Hold, Lucas Denman, Andrew Messick and Nicholas Conner combined to place fifth in that race.
