Sweet Home’s swimmers got their feet wet Friday at their first meet of the year, the Sweet Home Relays, which they hosted.
In addition to the Huskies, the non-scoring event included teams from Sisters, Marist, Stayton, Jefferson and Central, all members of the special swimming district in which Sweet Home competes.
The Huskies won four of the boys relay races and the girls won one.
Coach Doug Peargin said the meet results showed that the Huskies are in decent shape for early season.
“For our first meet, we did a pretty decent job with quite a few of our swimmers coming real close to their lifetime best swims,” he said, noting that he counted 23 personal best swims in looking over the results.
Peargin said the non-scoring relay format allowed him to swim all his athletes in at least two events.
“It gives me the opportunity to get some early-season times on all of our kids and this will help us determine some things that we may work on in future practices,” he said.
“We have a lot of work to do and conditioning will be a big part of our work load for the next month.”
The Huskies will be back in the water Thursday, Dec. 6, at the Philomath Relays, which will also be nonscoring.
