PORT ANGELES — Port Angeles qualified for five district events while dominating Bremerton in an Olympic League boys swimming meet Thursday.

The Riders (2-0 league and overall) won 10 of the 12 events, outscored the Knights in all events and swept five events.

Burke won the 50-yard freestyle and the 100 free. He qualified for the West Central District championships in the 50 free with a time of 24.11 seconds.

Other district qualifiers were Charlie Parks in the 100 backstroke (1:04.69), Matt Watkins in the 100 breaststroke (1:16.85), Avery Koehler in the 500 free (5:52.33) and Connor Reid in the 100 butterfly (1:12.82).

Parks and Watkins both took first while Koehler was second and Reid claimed third.

The Riders swept the 50, 100 and 200 free races, the backstroke and diving.

Other individual winners included C.J. Urnes in the 200 free and Austin Fahrenholtz in diving with a score of 218.90.

Port Angeles also won the 200 medley relay with Burke, Parks, Koehler and Watkins swimming legs, the 200 free relay with Reid, Watkins, Joel Elder and Burke and the 400 free relay with Koehler, Urnes, Tarren Grimsley and Parks.

The Riders next swim in the Falcon Relays at Foss High School in Tacoma on Saturday with a 10 a.m. starting time.

North Kitsap 101, Sequim 82

SEQUIM — The Wolves had three swimmers qualify for the district meet against the Vikings.

Thomas Moores qualified for district in the 200-yard individual medley as well as the 100 freestyle.

Moores was first in the 100 free in 57.05 seconds and third in the 200 IM in 2:37.52.

In addition, the Wolves qualified in the 200 medley relay with an improvement of 7 seconds from Tuesday’s meet against Bainbridge.

The relay won in 2:01.20 with Kris Petersen, Doug Dunbar, Moores and Drew Rickerson.

Sequim also won in the 100 breaststroke as Dunbar finished in 1:22.77.

“Although Doug’s time in the 100 breaststroke wasn’t quite as fast as Tuesday’s time [against Bainbridge], his stroke looks very good and I expect good things from him after the break,” coach Linda Moats said.

“Kris Petersen is swimming sprint freestyle well for this early in the season and I expect him to lower his time to a :25, maybe a :24 later in the season.

“Our divers performed about the same as they did at Bainbridge on Tuesday.

“I think overall the team is swimming and diving well at this point in the season.”
