Sweet Home’s swimmers came out on top on both the boys and girls sides Saturday, Dec. 21, at the Lebanon Invitational.
The meet included some of the historically top 4A teams in the state, including Newport, which is the defending state boys champion.
The boys finished one point ahead of the Cubs, 74-73.
“The meet went great,” Coach A Jay Bronson said. “It was a really good win against defending champs Newport. The boys swam well. We are in the middle of our training cycle, so we aren’t expecting any personal records, but they are putting in the work. We’re looking forward to how we stack up, once we are rested and ready to rip.”
On the girls side, the Huskies were missing three swimmers due to sickness and family obligations, but they still managed to outscore the hosts 81-67.
Sweet Home’s girls won the 200 and 400 freestyle relays, and the boys won the 200 Medley Relay. Lebanon’s boys were winners in the 200 Freestyle Relay.
Individual winners for the Huskies were Khloe Sautel in the 200 and 500 freestyles, Kirsten Sautel in the 200 Individual Medley and the 100 Breastroke, Shayne Schuster in the 100 Breaststroke, Arman Marble in the boys 500 Freestyle, and RJ Abbott in the 100 Butterfly.
Bronson said standouts for Sweet Home were sophomores Lexi Rundell, Seth Cox and Henry Jones, as well as “our regulars, that we’ve come to expect greatness from, which isn’t fair to them.
“But they never fail to deliver: Shayne, RJ, Kirsten, Khloe and Arman.”
Up next for the Huskies is a home meet featuring alumni at 2 p.m. Friday, Dec. 27.
