West Seattle and the Highline area were well represented Tuesday afternoon at the 2013 Seattle All City Swim Meet. Several area athletes, ranging in age from six to 18 years, representing; Arbor Heights, Gregory Seahurst, Olympic View and Normandy Park ventured north to Sand Point Country Club to compete in the end of the season event.
All four neighborhood teams brought a competitive spirit to the event and it started with the Gregory Seahurst’s four man team of Logan O’Neil (7), Leo Benevedes (8), Henry Heater (8) and Ethan Reed (8), who clocked an all city best time of 1:18.56 in the 8 and under boys 100 yard medley relay.
“We’re kind of rebuilding. We’re building back up and starting with these eight year olds. They’re pretty excited; they broke a record from 1991,” Gregory Seahurst head coach Mike Fosberg said.

Fosberg, who is in his second stint as head coach, was at the helm for 16 years in the 80’s and 90’s when the team was able to rattle of six consecutive All-City championships.

The win helped Seahurst rack up 110.0 points, which was good for seventh overall out of a total of 15 teams.

Normandy Park came in eighth with a score of 107.0, Olympic View netted 72.0 points, finishing 13th and Arbor Heights finished 14th, totaling 57.0 points.
The first win of the day from an area team came early on when the Olympic View 8 and Under girls took first in the 100 yard medley relay.

The team of Elizabeth Breacht-Ma (7), Brooke Thomas (8), Elianna DiSmone (7) and Ava Dropplemann (7) bested their competition by clocking a blistering 1:20.09, winning by more than a full second over runner up Aqua Club.

Regardless of where they placed, the athletes, coaches and hundreds of fans in attendance enjoyed the sunny, hot day and the chance to compete against and watch some of the area’s top swimmers.

“They (the kids) love it, we love it, we feed off of their energy and they feed off of ours,” Olympic View head coach Stephanie Cummings said. “We’re excited.”
Marine Hills Swim and Tennis Club of Federal Way was crowned as the 2013 champion, racking up an event best 309.0 points followed by Aqua Club (301.0). The host Sand Point Country club gave its fans something to cheer about, coming in third (229.0).
