After two non-scoring outings to get warmed up for their 2007-08 campaign, the Husky swimmers will swim for points Friday as they host their own Sweet Home Invitational.
Sweet Home swam Thursday, Dec. 6, at the Philomath Relays, held at the Philomath pool with North Marion, Central and Philomath – all district teams that the Huskies will compete against in the next couple of months.
“This gives us an opportunity to get all the swimmers in competition before we actually start meeting just our district teams,” Coach Doug Peargin said.
The boys strength and depth showed as they won five of the six events they entered, while the girls, who are young and lacking the team depth Sweet Home is used to, won three.
“For our first meet on the road I was pleased with our overall performances,” Peargin said. “Our swimmers had 13 personal best swims, which means as a team we’re steadily improving. The Philomath pool, as pools go, is a slow pool so any good swim here is a really good swim.”
