Girls win swim invitational but third place boys lack depth
4L
Memo to Sweet Home boys
who can swim or want to learn: the
Huskies need you.
Boosted by the large and
strong freshman contingent, Sweet
Home's girls won their own invita-
tional meet going away Thursday,
Dec. 20, but the boys finished third
behind Philomath and Central.
The girls scored 103 points to
77 for Stayton and 46 for Philo-
math, their closest competition in
a meet that involved six teams that
will be in the district meet. The
boys finished with a victory in the
400 Freestyle Relay but no indi-
vidual winners, scoring 60 points.
Phitomath edged Central for first
place, 78-74.
"The numbers are hurting us
in the guys," Coach Doug Peargin
said. "The guys are lean. If they
don't all place at districts, we're in
trouble."
With five of their eight swim-
mers seniors, the future doesn't
look too promising at the moment
either.
Peargin said it's never too late
to start swimming.
"I'll always take somebody,',
he said.
Meanwhile, the girls had three
four-event winners in freshmen Es-
• tiler Gunselman and Makayla Nel-
son and senior Naomi Gunselman,
as the Huskies took first-in seven of
the 11 events.
Nelson swam the fourth-fast-
est 200 (2:03.72) and 500 (5:33.34)
freestyles in school history and Es-
ther Gunselman's wins 100 Butter-
fly (1:09.47) and 100 Backstroke
(1:08.54) were lifetime bests. All
three swimmers contributed to two
relay wins each.
"I'm surprised we're swim-
ming as well as we are at this point
in the season," Peargin said. "Es-
ther's tearing it up. The younger
girls are starting to pull points for
US."
Sweet Home will be back in
action at the Stayton Invitational
• Thursday, Dec. 27, before hosting
a three-team meet on Jan. 4.
