The Highline/Tyee/Evergreen co-op swim team brought four swimmers, all from the Pirates, to a big meet, and, they earned some high places and good finishes, not to mention, one big surprises finish that qualified guys on to state, from the 2A West Central District meet at the Hazen Pool on Saturday.
Port Angeles won districts with 237 points. Steilacoom, second, 224, Liberty, third, 203.5, Lindbergh, fourth, 139.5, Sammamish, fifth, 133, and, Highline, sixth, 76, beating out Olympic, with 68, and, Kingston, with 61 points. All and all, a great job, as, there were 17 teams total from this district.
"We did awesome," said Megan Reynolds, the team's coach. "Very clean exchanges in two relays. So excited. Going to state in two relays."
Two! Not bad for a team that didn't win any of its dual meets this Seamount League season, and, that sixth place, with only four swimmers, that's a 'wow' factor, too, like, exactly what adjective Reynolds said, 'awesome.'
