County and conference rivals Greencastle and North Putnam met in the Tiger Cubs' pool on Thursday with GHS coming away with victories in boy the girls' and boys' meets.

The Tiger Cubs girls won 141-24 and the boys won 102-83.

The Greencastle girls made a clean sweep of the events against the outnumbered North Putnam team.

"They know going into meets that the deck is stacked against them because of their small numbers, but they continue to work hard and swim personal bests every time out," NPHS coach Tony Gray said about his girls' team. "I keep saying it, but I'm proud of these girls."

One NPHS swimmer, Rorie Buchanan, even swan with a cast to help her team.

Emily Wheeler and Libby Brush each picked up multiple individual wins for GHS.

On the boys side, the Tiger Cubs were able to avenge a loss last year with increased depth that the Cougars couldn't match.

"We fought hard and made them earn the victory," Gray said. "We are swimming really tired so to post the times we did we are on track to be fast when it counts."

GHS was led by Nash Firebaugh, who won the 200 IM and 100 butterfly, and was part of several relay wins.

NPHS picked up wins from Nick Kaufman (diving), Jonah Creamean (200 free), Joe Lehr (500 free) and Dane Gray (100 back).

The Cougars are back in action on Monday when they host West Vigo at 6 p.m.

The Tiger Cubs swim at Edgewood on Saturday at 11 a.m.
