North Fayette Valley junior Matt Appler swims for the Decorah Swim Club (DSC). At the recent Cedar Rapids Aquatic Association’s Harvest Invitational, Appler competed with swimmers his age from across northeast Iowa.

After the two-day meet, Appler, a member of the West Union Swim Team in the summer, won a trophy for finishing second overall in the high point standings. He won the 50 free and 100 backstroke competitions and combined with fellow West Union Swim Team member Justin Kueker and two Decorah swimmers to capture gold in the Senior Division 200 free relay.

DSC head coach Eric Crawford said afterwards, “Appler really stepped up and had some incredible races.”

Appler is the son of Kent and Laura Appler of Clermont.
