MARYSVILLE — Marysville-Pilchuck and Marysville Getchell welcomed Sedro-Woolley, Burlington-Edison and Sehome high schools on Dec. 13 for a five-team meet between the Wesco and Northwest conferences.

M-P and MG both struggled against Sehome to start the evening but rebounded for back-to-back wins against S-W and B-E.

“We’re actually missing some Getchell guys,” M-P and MG coach Meredith Jenks said. “Our top swimmer’s out with bad tendonitis and some other guys still have to be cleared. I’m very impressed, and we knew we had a chance.”

The Tomahawk A team of seniors Andrew Winquist (28.92 seconds) and Jon Ell (29.85),  and juniors Colin Willis (24.44) and Jacob Blomberg (25.78) took second in the 200-yard medley relay at 1:48.99.

“M-P swam really well too,” Jenks said. “Sehome’s guys (who won the 200-yard medley relay) are three-time state champs, so we knew what we were up against.”

Getchell’s A squad of seniors Matt Knowlton (30.49) and David Fugate (32.61), sophomore Taylor Dalton (28.91) and junior Kevin Korte (25.46) took third at 1:57.47.

Winquist qualified for 4A Districts with a second-place finish in the 200-yard freestyle, seventy-nine hundredths of a second behind first-place Sehome junior Andy Small. Blomberg made 4A Districts with his fourth-place finish at 2:02.16.

Ell took fourth in the 50-yard freestyle with a 4A Districts time of 24.44. Fugate took fifth, good for 3A Districts, at 25.79.
