Eatonville’s 200 Medley Relay team secured a 1-2 finish, setting the tone for a meet marked by standout performances across the board. Senior captain Kaylee Bernt swept the distance events with victories in both the 200-yard and 500-yard freestyle, while fellow captain Gracie Forsman clinched first place in the 200-yard individual medley.

The Cruisers dominated the sprint events as well, achieving a 1-2-3 sweep in the 50-yard freestyle, led by senior Bella Wolters and followed closely by sophomores Lily Hays and Sami Hann. Forsman and freshman Jane Morrish added to Eatonville’s strong performance in the 100-yard butterfly with a 1-2 finish, and the 100-yard freestyle saw another 1-2-3 sweep led by junior Nicole Tomyn.

Eatonville’s relay teams also proved unbeatable. The 200-yard freestyle relay, featuring Hann, Hays, Charlotte Stumph, and Wolters, claimed first place, and the Cruisers finished the meet with a solo first place in the 400-yard freestyle relay due to a limited Foss roster.

Head Coach Andrea Stammen expressed her pride in the team’s performance, noting that the meet served as a warm-up for the league championship. “It was a pretty quiet week for us, as we prepare for our League Championship this Wednesday,” Stammen said. “The girls put in a strong showing against Foss, and we’re ready to carry that momentum forward.”

The Cruisers will return to the Foss pool on Wednesday, October 30, for the 2A SPSL League Championship, where they hope to secure spots in the district meet.
