Sweet Home’s girls opened their swim meet with Newport, Sisters, Stayton and Toledo Friday, Jan. 27, with a bang, posting a school record in their first event, the 200 Medley Relay.
The Huskies went on to win the meet on the girls side, more than doubling second-place Newport, 161-60, and taking second behind Newport on the boys, 151-128.
“Opening up a meet with a school record is always a great way to start,” Coach Doug Peargin said, noting that the time of 1:52.28 posted by Jessica Coats (Backstroke), Lauren Yon (Breaststroke), Mia Davis (Butterfly) and Lucie Davis (Freestyle) was the fastest in the state this year for that event.
Sweet Home was still not at full strength, though.
“It seems our biggest enemy at this time is sickness – we haven’t had one meet the entire year when our entire team was there,” Peargin said. “Of we’re healthy, our girls are pretty solid from top to bottom. If we can stay healthy, we should be in pretty good shape going into District.”
The boys are still lacking, depth-wise, he said.
“We won seven of 11 races and we still got beat by 23 points. For District, to have a chance, we;’ll have to have all 13 boys on the team contribute. Salem Academy and Philomath are much deeper in numbers than we are. We lost to Salem Academy at District last year and we lost to Newport in this meet because of depth.”
The Huskies are “in great physical shape,” he said. “We’ve just got to really step up in these last meets of our season and make up for our lack of depth.”
Sweet Home will host Madras, Cascade and North Marion in a final home meet at 4 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 2. The district meet will be Feb. 10-11 at South Albany.
