Prep swimming: Newport sweeps Los Al

NEWPORT BEACH - Newport Harbor High girls swimmers broke two school

records and several others posted automatic CIF Southern Section

qualifying times as the Sailors’ girls and boys teams swept nonleague

visitor Los Alamitos in the season opener Monday.

Despite frigid conditions, freshman Nicole Mackey shattered the 100-yard

butterfly school record previously held by Melissa Pomeroy by four

seconds, winning in 57.21, to help the girls win, 94-66.

Harbor’s girls 200 medley relay team of Hayley Peirsol, Jennifer Arrow,

Mackey and Amy Murphy set a school record with a winning time of 1:53.97.

Mackey (also the 100 backstroke), Murphy (100 and 200 free) and Peirsol

(200 individual medley and 500 free) qualified for CIF in two individual

events, while Arrow (100 breaststroke) also met the automatic CIF

standard.

The 400 free relay of Murphy, Peirsol, Erin Ball and Mackey, was another

CIF qualifier.

Peter Belden and Paul Kepner won two events to pace the Tars to a 117-52

boys win.
