Eagles sweep Patriots

Friday, January 15, 2010

GREENCASTLE -- Only five days out from the WCC swim meet, the South Putnam swim teams were back in the pool for a third time, hosting Owen Valley Thursday night. Both squads came away with victories, with the boys winning by a score of 120-45 and the girls by a score of 130-31.

Even with little down time between meets, Eagles head coach Emily Coers was impressed with the effort of both teams.

"I thought we did very well overall. We're happy that Owen Valley could compete with us. It's good that the boys got a win today because it will give them motivation heading into some tougher meets that are coming up," Coers said.

"We swam pretty good times, close to the conference times, which is good considering this has been a busy week."

Coers pointed out several efforts of note.

"Trent Vickery had a good night in the sprints, and he has been having a really good senior season. Darrick Grundlock did well in the 100 meter backstroke and relays. Morgan Deszi in the 500 freestyle and Matt Lund in the 100 butterfly and relays also impressed. They're both young and have a great future ahead of them."

Looking forward, the wins should garner momentum for the Eagles heading into the next couple of weeks.

"Everyone is tired and needs some rest. Two of our girls relays, the 200 meter medley and 200 meter freestyle, are about three seconds off the school records. We've got seniors on both squads, and it would be nice to get both of those records," Coers said. "That will give them motivation for the next couple of weeks. The upcoming meets will be good competition leading into the sectional."

South Putnam will be in action next Tuesday, hosting Cascade at 5:30 p.m.
