PREP SWIMMING: Roughriders fare well against defending state champs

SEQUIM — Port Angeles competed well while facing Olympic, the defending boys swimming state champions, falling 91-76 to the Trojans at the Sequim YMCA on Thursday.

“Highlights were the boys [taking] first in the 200[-yard] free relay with a time of one minute, 40.76 seconds,” Roughriders coach Pet VanRossen said.
