Girls lose numbers game at JC swim meet; boys win big

Sweet Home’s girls swimming team isn’t as deep as it’s been in some recent seasons and that, together with the absence of one of their top point-scorers resulted in the Huskies’ first dual meet loss in recent memory Friday, Jan. 24, at Junction City.

The Tigers put 15 girls in River Road pool in Eugene, where the meet was held. Sweet Home, which was missing senior Kirsten Sautel, had nine and that gave Junction City enough to win, 86-75.

The boys won every event, finishing with a 102-45 win.

“It was a good meet,” Head Coach A Jay Bronson said. “We aren’t as deep as we are when we go to districts, and that’s kind of where Junction City caught us, because one-on-one we don’t have 15 people.”

Also, he noted, the absence of Sautel meant the loss of 12 pretty much guaranteed points, in addition to two relay wins.

The girls team of Peyton Markell, Khloe Sautel, Kylie Melkvik and Lexi Rundell won the 200 Medley Relay in  2:15.73.

Markell and Khloe Sautel were double winners for Sweet Home, Markell taking the 200 Freestyle (2:22.06) and the 500 Freestyle (6:04.67), which she won by four-hundredths of a second over the Tigers’ Lily Jackson.

“It was back and forth the whole way,” said Bronson, noting that he stuck Markell in that event “because we needed something to score some points.”

“She wins it. It was back and forth the whole way. Peyton was beating her on the straightaways and Lily was winning on the turns, over and over again. It was a fingertips finish.”

It was also the fifth-fastest time among district swimmers.

Khloe Sautel won the  100 Freestyle (59.30) and 100 Breaststroke (1:18.80) and Daisy Lalonde added Sweet Home’s other win, in the 100 Breaststroke (1:16.27).

The boys won all three relays and every individual event.

Individual winners were Grayson Avri in the 200 Freestyle (2:05.29), RJ Abbott in the 50 Freestyle (24.38) and 100 Breaststroke (1:14.11), Andrew Tolman in the 200 Individual Medley (2:27.28) and the 100 Freestyle (58.01), Shayne Schuster in the 500 Freestyle (5:29.67), Henry Jones in the 100 Butterfly (1:12.13) and Arman Marble in the 100 Backstroke (1:05.64).

“Shane did well in that 500 Freestyle as well,” Bronson noted.

Up next for Sweet Home is a home meet Saturday, Feb. 1, against Stayton, North Bend and Salem Academy, beginning at 11 a.m.
