Sweet Home’s boys won the Sweet Home Invitational team title Thursday and the girls finished second to Stayton in a six-team competition.
The boys scored 103 points, thanks to five first-place finishes, to pass Philomath (88), Central (55), Sisters (28), Junction City (26) and Stayton (8).
Stayton scored 87 points to the Husky girls’ 69, followed by Sisters (56), Philomath (50), Junction City (31) and Central 14).
The girls had three individual winners – Sami Webb in the 200 intermediate medley (2:30.1) and the 100 freestyle (59.4) and Naomi Gunselman in the 100 butterfly (1:02.1).
“Our invitational is a special meet for us because of the great competition,” Coach Doug Peargin said. “It gives us another chance to look at our swimmers before our Christmas workouts start up.”
He said the team posted 41 personal-best times at the meet.
“Hopefully, we can keep the progress up to and through our district and state meets,” he said. “I felt that we swam real well as a total team. We’ve been working at least as hard and probably harder than we were last year at this time.”
