Thursday night was a big one for the Eatonville High School girls swim team — the last home meet, the last regular-season competition, and, most importantly, Senior Night. The Cruisers made it count, sweeping both Foss and Washington in decisive fashion.

Eatonville rolled past Foss 113-22 and Washington 113-18, capping off their regular season with a commanding performance that showcased both their depth and leadership.


“It was such a special night,” said Head Coach Andrea Stammen. “It was our last home meet, our last regular-season meet, and Senior Night all rolled into one.”


The meet served as a tribute to the team’s three senior captains — Annika Howard, Charlotte Stumph, and Nicole Tomyn — each recognized for the unique qualities that have defined their leadership over the past four years.


“Annika’s dedication, Charlotte’s perseverance, and Nicole’s compassion have made this team stand out above others,” Stammen said. “They’ve set a standard for what teamwork and sportsmanship look like.”


Under their guidance, Eatonville has claimed the SPSL Sportsmanship Award, reached the state championships, set a new school record, and earned the title of academic state champions — all during their tenure.


The seniors weren’t just leaders out of the pool — they were key to Thursday’s dominant results. Howard took first place in both the 200 individual medley and the 100 butterfly. Tomyn captured first in the 100 freestyle, and Stumph anchored multiple winning relays.


Eatonville claimed first place in nine of the night’s eleven events:


  • 200 Medley Relay: Nicole Tomyn, Grace King, Annika Howard, Clara Forsman

  • 200 Free: Riley Frey

  • 200 IM: Annika Howard

  • 100 Fly: Annika Howard

  • 100 Free: Nicole Tomyn

  • 200 Free Relay: Charlotte Stumph, Clara Forsman, Annika Howard, Nicole Tomyn

  • 100 Back: Amelia Palfenier

  • 100 Breast: Grace King

  • 400 Free Relay: Riley Frey, Amelia Palfenier, Lily Hays, Charlotte Stumph

 

“Our seniors have been the heart of this team,” Stammen said. “They’ve helped build something lasting — not just wins, but a culture of support and excellence that will carry forward."


With the regular season complete, the Cruisers now turn their focus to the postseason. They’ll compete next at the SPSL League Championship meet, hosted by Foss on Wednesday, Oct. 29.
