GODFREY – SummersPort Swim Club's Sharks have established themselves as quite the power in the Southwestern Illinois Swimming Association over the years.

The Sharks won their 24th straight SWISA championship Sunday afternoon as SummersPort hosted the league championship meet. The Sharks used a full team effort to score 2,162.5 points to finish atop the team standings; Paddlers of Granite City took second with 1,856.5 points, followed by Water Works of Edwardsville at 1,487.5, Splash City of Collinsville with 1,401.5 and Sunset Hills of Edwardsville at 918.

The boys' championship went to the Sharks 1,113 points, followed by the Pirates (952.5), Gators (708), Marlins (539.5) and Stingrays (534); in the girls' competition, SummersPort led with 1,049.5, followed by Water Works (948), Paddlers (904), Splash City (693.5) and Sunset Hills (384).

“I had many swimmers just swim best times and perform better than I could have expected,” said Shark coach Nancy Miller. “We only had a few disqualifications and it was a great team effort overall. There's depth on each team (in the league); each team is very strong.

“By far, this whole week (was the high point of the season for the Sharks), starting with (SummersPort's regular season-concluding win over Paddlers Tuesday night) and culminating with today's championship. Of course, we're not finished; tomorrow is the (league JV meet) and we're very excited for tomorrow's swims as well, but we certainly did save the best for last.”

The day's top scorers on the boys side were Ethan McLeod of SummersPort (6-and-under), Stephen Stobbs of SummersPort (7-8), Cohen Osborn (Water Works, 9-10), Cooper Scharff (Water Works, 11-12), Noah Clancy (SummersPort, 13-14) and Matthew Daniel (SummersPort, 15-18). The girls' leading scorers on the day were Lillian Schuler (SummersPort, 7-8), Eleanor Schuler (SummersPort, 9-10), Anna Moehn (SummersPort, 11-12), Allison Naylor and Phoebe Gremaud (both Water Works, 13-14) and Bailey Grinter and McPherson (both Water Works, 15-18); Grinter was coming off a good performance at the recent United States Olympic swimming Trials in Omaha, Neb.
