MARYSVILLE — The Tommies ran into one of the deepest boys swimming teams in the state Jan. 20.

In a 114-72 loss to Kamiak, Marysville-Pilchuck faced just the second team it couldn’t beat as the Tommies prepare for the postseason.

“We knew going in they were going to be a very deep team with multiple state qualifiers in every event,” said M-P swim coach Meredith Jenks. “And they just had too much.”

Marysville, which owns a 9-2 record, and remains undefeated (7-0) in the Wesco North standings, just didn’t have the frontrunners as the Knights took first in 10 events, including diving.

The only events M-P took home top honors in both belonged to senior Spencer Girard, who placed first in the 200 individual medley with a state-qualifying time of 1:59.53. Girard also posted his best time in the 100-meter breaststroke since breaking the school record in the event at last year’s state meet. His showing against Kamiak, 59.80 seconds, was less than two-tenths of a second behind his school record.

“To see Spencer have that kind of race was fantastic,” said Jenks.

Also having a banner day was junior Corey Coombs, who posted his first district tournament qualifying time in the 100-yard breaststroke.

“That was great for Corey,” said Jenks. “He’s been working hard for that for three years.”

With a number of meets like the one against Kamiak, where the Tommies posted 15 district qualifying times, they will be well-represented when hosting districts Feb. 10-12.

“I’ve been very impressed this season,” said Jenks, who is concluding her first year as head coach. “We’ve come down to the end of the season and now we’re relaxing on the yards and looking for more quality strokes.”

The Tommies already have the Wesco North title sewn up with a final meet against Lake Stevens Jan. 25.
