The Spartans sealed another win in boys varsity swimming & diving late last week by winning all three relay races against Bishop Blanchet in a home meet at the Bainbridge Aquatic Center.
Bainbridge won the meet with a team total of 108 points; the Braves finished with 63.
The Spartans won the first race of the meet, the 200-yard medley relay, with a state championship qualifying time of 1:42.93. The winning time by Mitchell Bell, Carter Hall, Andrew Witty and Makai Ingalls was more than 6 seconds faster than the second-place foursome from Blanchet.
Bell also claimed a first place in the 200-yard individual medley, finishing in 2:14.44.
Kiernan Liberman claimed first place in diving, with a score of 225.65.
Brian Taylor (208.4) was second for the Spartans in the event, while Henry Sauermann (176.15) was third.
Witty had a state-qualifying time in the 100-yard butterfly for Bainbridge. He won the race in 53.95.
Ingalls also had another state time in the 100-yard freestyle. Ingalls finished first in 48.42.
The Spartan relay team of Oskar Bannister, Ingalls, Max Eyrich and Witty won the 200-yard freestyle relay. Their fantastic finish of 1:31.62 was also a state 3A championship-qualifying time.
Eyrich was also the top swimmer in the 100-yard breaststroke. He won the race in 1:02.77 — just a fingernail in front of Hall, who placed second for the Spartans in 1:02.79.
The Bainbridge relay team of Eyrich, Nate Lapin, Hall and Ingalls were also victorious in the 400-yard freestyle relay, placing first in 3:31.51.
