Swimmers show strength against district foes at sprint meet

Kylie Melkvik

Sweet Home’s swimmers got a chance to see the rest of the district in a competitive setting Saturday, Jan. 11, at the Albany Sprint Meet.

“The District Sprint Meet is a great meet for us to gauge how everybody else is doing across the district,” Head Coach A Jay Bronson said. “And we stacked up pretty well. We don’t score this meet because it’s a non-scoring meet, but if we did, we would have won both sides of the coin. So we’re happy about that.”

Sweet Home came away with four wins on the girls side, led off by the 200 Medley Relay team of Peyton Markell, Kirsten Sautel, Khloe Sautel and Lexi Rundell, who combined for a swim of 2:01.78, 11 seconds ahead of second-place Junction City.

Kirsten Sautel then delivered two individual wins for the girls, in the 100 Individual Medley (1:04.02) and the 100 Freestyle (56.78) – with her sister Khloe two-tenths of a second behind. Khloe Sautel won the 200 Freestyle in 2:06.42.

The boys won both the relays that were included in Saturday’s competition. Arman Marble, Grayson Savri, RJ Abbott and Shayne Schuster combined for a time of 1:56.12, 3½ seconds ahead of second-place Philomath, and Abbott led Grayson Savri, Henry Jones and Austyn Hogan to a win in the 200 Freestyle Relay, finishing in 1:42.37, 2½ seconds ahead of Cascade.

Abbott finished first in the 100 Freestyle (51.03), ahead of Schuster (54.62).

Bronson said that Schuster “did a good job,” swimming some good times, including that 54.62, which was a personal best for him.

Kylie Melkvik also had a good day, swimming PR’s in all her events.

“Everybody, really, is having PR’s across the board and doing a good job,” he said.

Up next, the Huskies will host Philomath, Sisters, Kennedy and Hidden Valley at 4 p.m. Friday, Jan. 17.
