Sweet Home’s swimmers got a bird’s-eye view of the district Saturday at a Pre-District Sprint Meet at the South Albany Aquatic Center, where the district meet will be held Feb. 13-14, and the picture was a good one.
Though no team scores were kept in the meet, which included abbreviated lengths of most of the events that will be on the district schedule, Coach Doug Peargin had swimmers in the top six in all 20 events contested.
The Huskies dominated the girls side, winning six of the 10 events, including both relays contested. Makayla Nelson (100 IM), Lauren Yon (100 Freestyle), Elea Hewitt (500 Freestyle) and Jessica Coats (50 Backstroke) were all individual winners for Sweet Home. Freshmen Rowland Lupoli (50 Freestyle, 50 Breaststroke) and Rawlins Lupoli (100 IM, 50 Backstroke) both won two events for the Huskies, with Nathan Hager adding another individual win in the 100 Freestyle for the boys.
“This meet gives the swimmers a chance to have some fun instead of being worried about a team score,” Peargin said. “I’m pleased with our times in our events and with the competitive nature of our team.”
The Huskies will host Sisters and Stayton Friday, Jan. 30, at 4 p.m.
