Sweet Home’s boys continued to show their dominance over the competition in Special District 3, scoring 152 points to Sisters’ 85 and Stayton’s 18 in a home meet Friday.
The Husky girls, missing some key swimmers and facing two of the best teams in the district, finished third with 86 points to Stayton’s 111 and Sisters’ 91.
“We were short a few girls because of illness and/or grades,” Coach Doug Peargin said. “When we get everybody back healthy by district, we should be quite a bit tougher.”
The girls got some “great” swims from Naomi Gunselman, who swam the seventh-fastest 500 freestyle in school history (5:42.70) in one of her rare outings in that event, and from Sami Webb in the 200 Individual Medley (2:25.24), sixth in school history, and the 100 butterfly (1:07.80), 11th fastest ever.
“Our team swam real well,” Peargin said. “Our biggest problem is lack of numbers.”
Webb was first in the 200 IM and Gunselman in the 500 free, to which she added a win in the 100 backstroke as well.
For the boys, individual winners were Don Rockstead in the 100 and 200 freestyles, Derek Jaques in the 200 IM and 100 backstroke, Zac Pearce in the 50 and again in the 500 freestyle, Brandon Courteau in the 100 butterfly, and Gravy Gunselman in the 100 backstroke.
“Our boys had another good meet, with PR’s in almost every race,” Peargin said.
The Huskies have one meet left, at home against North Marion at 4 p.m. Thursday, before the district meet on Feb. 11-12.
“It looks like it will be real close between Philomath and us for the district championship,” Peargin said of the boys race.
