Sailors split with Edison
NEWPORT BEACH - Even with Aaron Peirsol, Newport Harbor High’s boys
were unable to deal with a strong Edison High contingent in nonleague
swimming Thursday, the visiting Chargers claiming a 95-75 victory.
Peirsol, the world champion on three levels of the 200-meter
backstroke, eased to winning times of 1:42.22 in the 200-yard freestyle
and 50.53 in the 100 backstroke, and anchored the winning 200 medley and
400 free relay teams.
Ryan Lean doubled with victories in the 100 free (48.34) and 500 free
(4:46.28).
Newport Harbor’s girls had their way by the identical score, 95-75,
with a number of big winners.
Hayley Peirsol was first in the 200 free (2:01.15) and 200 individual
medley (2:13.47), Nicole Mackey won the 100 fly in 56.71 and the 100
breaststroke in 1:11.83, and Mai Tajima was first in the 500 free
(5:17.92) and 100 back (1:00.68).
Tajima, Mackey, Peirsol and Ashley Parole won the 200 medley relay in
1:58.18, and Jenna Murphy, Parole, Tajima and Mackey rolled in the 200
free relay in 1:43.44.
It was the Sailors’ final tuneup before Tuesday’s Sea View League
girls preliminaries at Irvine High Tuesday. The boys’ prelims at Irvine
are Wednesday.
