The 200 free relay qualified too at 1:55.71, with Jasmine Itti, Govertson, Linnane and Mieche, and the 400 free relay swam a 4:39.24 with Isa Benitez, Joie Darminio, JayceeThompson-Porrazzo and Itti.

Three relay team members qualified for districts in indivudal events. Govertson qualified in the 100 free (1:02.21) and 200 IM (2:37.23), Linnane in the 50 free (28.02) and 100 back (1:13.34), and Mieche in the 100 breaststroke (1:19.10) and 200 IM (2:33.55).

The Wolves defeated Kingston 97-73 in 2015 but lost to them 101-82 in 2014.

Sequim traveled to Olympic High School on Tuesday, Sept. 20, and they’ll travel there again on Saturday, Sept. 24, for an invitational where Sequim’s top eight swimmers will compete.
