The Sweet Home swimmers got their season off to a fast start at their own non-scoring Sweet Home Relays against Marist, Jefferson, Stayton and a Junction City team somewhat depleated by illness.
Sweet Home won all but one girls race and five of the eight boys races.
“I thought we had a good showing right out of the chute,” said Coach Doug Peargin.
He said his team was a little tired after a couple of weeks of daily doubles, but he said a number of swimmers “got pretty close to their best times.”
Peargin said junior Cole Stumbaugh, in particular, did well, swimming lifetime bests in the 200 freestyle, the 100 free and the 50 butterfly.
The Huskies will return to the pool Friday, hosting Junction City in a dual meet at 4 p.m.
