Killer Whales win again

FOUTAIN VALLEY — Another week, another victory.

That’s been the case for the Newport Hills Swim Team, which remained in first place in the South Coast Swim Conference with a 724-500 win over the Greenbrook Gators on Saturday at the Gators’ pool in Fountain Valley.

Similar to weeks past, the NHST Killer Whales had a several great individual performances and one record-breaking feat.

The Killer Whales’ Mary Flynn broke her own team record in the girls’ 15-18 age division 100-yard individual medley, with a time of 1 minute, 4.62 seconds. In addition to winning the 100 IM, she also won the 50 breaststroke and 50 butterfly.

Ryan Barth won two events in the boys’ 15-18 age division for NHST, with first-place finishes in the 50 free and 50 breast.

In the girls’ six-and-under division, both Chloe Harbilas (25 free and 25 fly) and Kendall Kipp (25 breast and 25 backstroke) were two-time winners in individual events.

The boys six-and-under division had three different individual event winners, Spencer Wardwell in the 25 freestyle, Peter Larsen in the 25 breast and Jack Elliott in the 25 back.

The age 7-8 division Killer Whale girls had two swimmers winning two individual events, Lauren Openshaw (25 breast and back) and Madeleine Musselman (25 fly and 50 free), and Katherine Hess won the 25 free.

It was a similar scenario in the boys’ 7-8 division, as Henry Wilde (25 free and 25 back) and JT Russell (25 breast) were dual individual event winners, with Morgan Cortens victorious in the 50 free.

There were seven different winners in individual events in the 9-10 division. For the NHST girls, Brianna Daboub (50 free), Emma Morris (50 breast), Courtney Garkani (25 fly) and Natalie Wilde (50 back) all touched first. For the boys, Danny Robertson was a dual winner with wins in the 50 free and 100 IM, and Mitch Dean in the 50 breast and Jack Klein in the 50 back, both brought home first-place finishes in their events.

Skylar Dapp (breast), Kaylee Myers (fly) and Lauren Dean (IM) were first-place winners in the girls’ 11-12, and Christian Garkani (free), Nick Furgatch (breast), Blake Motal (fly and back) and Kyle Cousens (IM) were all winners for the boys’ 11-12.

The Killer Whales will compete Saturday in the Relay Finals held at El Toro High.
