The Lady Wolves swim team travels to Port Angeles this week with another team win under their caps.

Sequim outswam Bremerton 124-45 in the Bremerton Family YMCA on Sept. 24, including three girls making districts time in more events.

Jessica Craig qualified for districts for the first time this season in the 200 IM at 2:46.40 while cutting 1 second from her season’s best. Jasmine Itti charged past her P.R. to qualify in districts in the 50 free at 28.30, and Sydnee Linnane made districts too in the 50 free (27.80).

So far, eight girls have qualified for districts in individual and relay events and a few continue to swim closer to state qualifying times.

Head coach Anita Benitez said the girls had a blast at the meet and that away meets can be nice because it gives girls the time to bond. Last year the Wolves defeated Bremerton 121-62.

Several girls made personal records and/or continued to cut times off their season’s best.

Kaitlyn Davis cut 1 second from her 200 free (3:34.92) and 50 free times (42.01); Annie Armstrong cut 3 seconds off the 100 fly (1:23.14); Victoria Fitzpatrick cut 1 second off the 100 free (1:03.90*) and Carmen Wilwert cut 1 second off the 100 free (1:20.79) and 100 breast (1:30.57).

Also, Aubree Young cut 14 seconds from her 500 free (9:05.70);  Briteny Bergman cut 2 seconds off the 100 free (1:42.31); Holly Eiland cut 1 second off the 100 free (1:43.93) and 50 free (45.43) and Sarah Bacon cut 10 seconds off the 100 free (1:46.62) and 6 seconds from the 50 free (46.11).

Also, Natalie Barker cut 4 seconds off the 100 free (1:41.37); Madeline Patterson cut .10 of a second off the 50 free (41.49); and the 200 free relay Team A of Jaycee Thompson-Porrazzo, Itti, Linnane and Fitzpatrick cut 1 second (1:56.6*).  (* indicates a district qualifying time)
