With the district swimming championships two weeks away, Sweet Home’s swimmers got a chance to gauge the competition at the Albany Sprint Swim Meet Saturday, Jan. 20.
The non-scoring meet included all of the 11 teams in 4A/3A/2A/1A-SD3 Special District 3, including Kennedy and Western Mennonite, which were added to the district this year, and was held in the South Albany pool, where the district meet will be held Feb. 9-10.
“This is especially helpful to your newer athletes because it lets them get familiar with the way a large meet runs and also get a chance to compete in the same pool they will be in for our district meet,”
Coach Doug Peargin said.
The Huskies, he said, swam “real well for this time of the year.”
“We’re still going some pretty big yards (in practice) and will continue to do so for the next couple of weeks,” he said. “With only two more home mets and then the district meet left, we’re starting to really concentrate on what would be the best events for our swimmers to compete in at District.”
Winners for Sweet Home girls were Mia Davis in the 50 Freestyle, Megan Hager in the 50 Butterfly, Sarah Hewitt in the 100 Freestyle, Lauren Yon in the girls 100 Individual Medley, and both the 200 Medley Relay and 200 Freestyle relay teams.
The boys got wins from Rawlins Lupoli in the 100 Individual Medley, Rowland Lupoli in the 100 Freestyle, Bradley Wolthuis in the 50 Backstroke, and the 200 Medley Relay team.
Friday, Jan. 26, the Huskies will get a stiff test as Newport, Stayton and Sisters are scheduled to visit at 4 p.m. The Cubs are the No. 1-ranked boys team in the state and their girls team, with all the swimmers currently on the roster, placed fourth at state last year.
“This is really going to tell us where we stand at the state level,” Peargin said.
