Sweet Home’s girls won all nine events at the Rhonda Relays held at Philomath Dec. 13.
With deep and experienced defending state champion Newport in the line-up for the boys, the Huskies did not come away with any wins on the boys side, but they did combine except for the Mixed 200 Freestyle Relay, in which they combined with the girls for a win over the other four schools in the meet.
No scores are kept in the meet.
Coach Doug Peargin said the fact that every event requires a team effort is good for swimmers to learn “how important it is to be able to depend on one another for the outcome of the event.”
“We swam real well as a team, with so many PR’s that I quit counting,” he added.
One advantage of the relay format, he said, is that every swimmer got into at least two events.
Eight Husky girls were on four winning relay teams: Moira Curtis, Megan Hager, Torree Hawken, Josie Hewitt, Sarah Hewitt, Isabel Sayers, Jamie Seward and Chloe Tyler.
Next up for Sweet Home is a home meet at 4 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 20, with Salem Academy, whose boys are favored in the district meet, and with Stayton and Philomath.
