Raiders Host First Local Swim Meet In Over 20 Years

By D. Tyrell McGirt

Friday, November 01 2013


UCSD Swim Team
Unalaska City School hosted its first home swim meets in over 20 years October 25th and 26th.  The Bartlett High School boy and girl swim teams traveled to Unalaska from Anchorage for the dual meet held at the City of Unalaska Department of Parks, Culture, and Recreation Aquatics Center.  The meets on both days were treated as exhibition meets with community members with competitive swimming backgrounds serving as unofficial judges.
 
Bartlett traveled with two coaches and 12 swimmers between both the boy and girl teams, three of which are predicted to make state this year.  Unalaska competed with 11 swimmers between both its boy and girl teams.  Twelve of the 13 Unalaska Jr. high swimmers competed against each other in each event before the head-to-head action between Bartlett and Unalaska. 
 
There were a total of eight individual events and three relays for boys and girls.  Each swimmer were allowed to compete in three individual events and two relays.  Three local records were broken Friday night.  Senior swimmer and team captain, Kei Kawada, broke the record for 500 Yard Freestyle.  He improved his time from6:13.92 to 5:56.28.  Senior swimmer and also team captain, Amber Vernon, broke the record for the 200 Yard Individual Medley with a time of 2:45.56.  She improved her personal best time by over four seconds.  The biggest surprise Friday evening was 7th grader Kiara Villamor breaking the record in the 100 Yard Butterfly with a time of 1:10.65.
 
Below are the best times from over the weekend.  If the dual meet was official and scored based on times and finishes alone boy Raider boy and girl teams would have come out on top.  Raider high school swim teams will travel to Kenai this weekend for the Region III Swimming and Diving Championships.
