Sweet Home’s swimmers placed first on both the boys and girls sides at the Stayton Invitational Saturday, Dec. 23.
The meet was held in a metric pool, which was a first-time experience for some of the Huskies, as nearly all high school meets are held in 25-yard pools.
“I thought we competed pretty well,” said Coach Doug Peargin. “Every swimmer that went today scored points for us.”
The Huskies won the girls competition with 231 points, ahead of Stayton (121) and Cascade (82).
On the boys side, they scored 178 to beat Stayton (104) and Cascade (63).
Individual winners for the girls were Lauren Yon in the 200 and 400 (meter) Freestyles; Megan Hager in the 100 Breaststroke and 100 Freestyle; and Mia Davis in the 50 Freestyle.
On the boys side, Dakota Seward was first in the 200 Freestyle, Rawlins Lupoli was first in the 100 Freestyle and the 100 Backstroke and Rowland Lupoli won the 100 Breaststroke.
Up next for Sweet Home is the Newport Invitational Thursday, Dec. 28, which Peargin said the Huskies are “looking forward” to. Newport’s boys are ranked No. 1 in the state and the Cubs girls are among the top 10 4A teams in the state, he noted.
“We’ll get our first look at them. This meet will let us see what we will need to do to be a trophy contender at the state level,” he said. “We’ll also get to see Taft and Seaside and Toledo.”
