Weeks of work are paying off for Sweet Home’s swimmers.
The Huskies, who are one of the few teams still doing daily doubles after the Christmas break, according to coach Doug Peargin, won both the boys and girls competitions Saturday at the Junction City Invitational.
Sweet Home’s boys had five individual winners and one relay place first to score 460 to beat second-place Junction City, which finished with 333 points. Cole Stumbaugh and Kieran Schaefer were double winners for the Huskies, Stumbaugh in the 50 and 100 freestyles, and Schaefer in the 200 freestyle and 100 backstroke. Jayce Calhoon was the other individual winner for Sweet Home, taking the 200 Intermediate Medley.
The girls had three individual winners and two relay winners to score 403 points, over sceond-place Cascade’s 366. Jessica Trautwein won the 50 and 100 freestyles for Sweet home, while Justine Calhoon took first in the 100 breaststroke.
“We’re swimming well even though we’re swimming pretty tired,” Peargin said. “We’ll continue daily doubles up until about seven to nine days before the district and/or state meets, then we’ll get to sleep in and start resting for our district and state.
“Even though we’re tired, Jayce Calhoon swam the ninth-fastest time in the history of the school in the 200 IM, with a time of 2:10.00, which is a real good swim, particularly at this time of the year.”
The teams will be back in the water at home Friday, Jan. 12, at 4 p.m. against Central and Marist.
