Sequim trims times
POULSBO — The Wolves dropped a double meet with Kingston and North Kitsap, falling to the Buccaneers 133-30 and 136-29.
“We lost against both teams, but the Sequim swimmers had some good swims and personal bests,” Wolves coach Linda Moats said.
Liam Payne dropped four seconds off his best 50-yard freestyle time to finish fourth with a time of 30.99 seconds.
“His swimming was much smoother and his turns have improved a lot,” Moats said.
Christian Goodrich also shaved four seconds off his best 100 fly time to finish third after posting a time of 1:22.03.
Goodrich, who was third and David Calderon, who placed fifth, each cut time in the 100 back.
“We had a great race for the 100 back with Christian dropping six seconds off his best time and David dropping over 12 seconds off his best,” Moats said.
“Both boys have been working on improving their technique.”
Brandon Grow dropped 3 seconds off his best 100 free time and finished third with a mark of 1:11.27.
“The 200 free relay team of Calderon, Grow, Payne and Alex Berikoff swam well, and individual splits were faster than previously established,” Moats said.
The 400 free relay team of Goodrich, Calderon, Berikoff and Wendall Lorenzen dropped 55 seconds off their best time.
Sequim (0-3) swims Thursday at Klahowya.
