MARYSVILLE — Marysville Getchell and Marysville-Pilchuck boys swim and dive hosted undefeated Kamiak on Jan. 24 for a late-season showdown that would measure how the Chargers and Tomahawks compared to the Wesco’s best.

Tomahawk junior Colin Willis won and qualified for 4A Districts in both the 200-yard freestyle and 100-yard backstroke and senior Tyler Russell won the 1-meter dive, but M-P fell 122-63. Getchell senior Josh Estella won the 100-meter butterfly and qualified for 4A Districts but the Chargers fell 133-49.

“We were hoping to see if we could push through,” said M-P and MG head coach Meredith Jenks. “It was kind of hard to say where we were with the snow week that we had, but we’ve got six days of practice until JV Championships and four more practices after that until Districts.”

The scores did not favor the Marysville schools, but individual performances stood out. Tomahawk senior Casey Mills made 3A Districts in the 100-yard backstroke and M-P sophomore Owin Ell made 4A Districts in 200-yard individual medley. Many swimmers, including Tomahawk senior Kaili Swan and freshman Jason Kent, completed the Iron Man challenge in which a swimmer competes in every event over the course of a season. The meet was Tomahawk sophomore Jonathan Pusateri’s last of the season as he was soon to leave with his parents on a mission trip to Africa.
