Sweet Home ended its regular swim season Thursday, Jan. 31, with a decisive performance by the girls in a three-way meet with North Marion, Cascade and Kennedy.
The Huskies outscored North Marion 172-58 as they finished their regular season undefeated. Sweet Home won all the events, sweeping all four individual freestyles. Even missing a couple of swimmers, who were ill, Coach Doug Peargin said, the Huskies looked ready to take it to the competition at the district meet this weekend.
Freshmen Isabel Sayer (200 and 500 Freestyles) and Chloe Tyler (200 IM, 100 Backstroke) and senior Megan Hager (100 Freestyle, 100 Breaststroke) were double winners for the Huskies. Freshman Josie Hewitt won the 50 Freestyle in a field that Sweet Home took the top five spots out of six swimmers, and her older sister Sarah Hewitt, a senior, won the 100 Butterfly.
It was Senior Day for the team and seniors Brad Wolthuis (50 Freestyle) and Dakota Seward (100 Backstroke) were the individual winners for the Huskies, who finished second as a team to North Marion, 120-90.
“I feel good about our team, going into the district meet,” Coach Doug Peargin said. “We’re just starting to rest up for District and we’re starting to have some real good swims because of it. We’ll really start resting up this week and, going into Friday, we should be ready for some big swims.”
The district meet, at South Albany Aquatic Center, runs Friday and Saturday, Feb. 8-9, beginning at 9 a.m. both days.
“We’ll have our entire team in their best events,” Peargin said. “I’m excited. We’ve come a long way but I think we’re ready to go just a bit further.”
