Additionally, Port Angeles’ 200 medley relay team (Hertzog, Gavin, Krzysiak, Che) that finished second also qualified for district with a time of 1:54.81.

Individually, Martin won the 200 freestyle with a time of 2:03.75 seconds, Hertzog won the 100 backstroke in 1:07.68 and Krzysiak won the 100 butterfly in 1:02.33.
