Summers Port won the boys meet with 127 points, followed by Splash City (110 points), trailed by Paddlers (106), Water Works (77) and Sunset Hills (56).
Water Works relay victories were as follows:
The 11-12 boys 150 backstroke, 13-14 girls 150 backstroke, 15-18 girls 150 backstroke, 9-10 girls 150 butterfly, 13-14 girls 150 butterfly, the girls crescendo relay, 9-10 girls 200 medley, 13-14 boys 200 medley, 11-12 boys 150 freestyle, 13-14 boys 150 freestyle, 8-and-under girls 75 breaststroke, 9-10 girls 150 breaststroke, 11-12 girls 150 breaststroke.
“I would say that the meet tonight went very well,” Water Works head coach Elizabeth McPherson said. “While we did have more DQs than usual, we learned a lot from the races. By having so many people swim events and strokes they never do, I got to see how they performed under the pressure of a race. I always thought of the relay meet as more laid back and just a way to unwind before SWISA.”
Sunset Hills placed second in the girls 15-18 150 butterfly relay and the 150 backstroke relay.
