Sherando girls lead way at swim competition

WINCHESTER — The Sherando girls’ swimming team captured both the Frederick County Pentathlon and Mini Pentathlon meet that was held last Saturday at Jim Barnett Park’s War Memorial building pool.

Complete results were not submitted until Friday due to some timing errors during the meet.

Swimmers were required to compete in all five events in order to score for their team. For the Pentathlon, that was 100 meters each of butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle and the 200 individual medley. Mini Pentathlon competitors swam in events that were half the distance of the Pentathlon events.

The Sherando girls’ won the Pentathlon with 184 points. James Wood was second with 150 and Millbrook was third with 44. In the Mini Pentathlon, the Warriors (56.5) were followed by James Wood (30) and Millbrook (18.5).

James Wood won the boys’ Pentathlon with 180 points, and the Colonels were followed by Sherando (126) and Millbrook (56). The Pioneers took first in the Mini Pentathlon with 64 points. James Wood was second with 22 and Sherando was third with 19.

Sherando senior Emma De Jong won the girls’ Pentathlon competition by 20 points with a total of 68, and teammate Hannah Motley won all five events to win by 6.5 in the Mini Pentathlon competition with 30.

James Wood sophomore Paul Warnagiris won the boys’ Pentathlon by eight points with a total of 68. Millbrook’s Ben Rayburn also won by eight points in the Mini Pentathlon, scoring 36.

Individual relay points were calculated using total points scored by that team and dividing that number by four. The points awarded in the Mini Pentathlon events were half the total awarded in the Pentathlon competition.
