SWM: Dons relay team swims to automatic CIF time

Santa Barbara High’s girls 200 freestyle relay team swam an automatic CIF time in Friday’s non-league meet with Orcutt Academy as the Dons teams swept the boys and girls competitions.

The Dons boys recorded three CIF consideration times in three winning relay races. Tarry Burkhardt was on all three relay teams and posted a season-best 21.80 in the 50 free.

Sophomore Cuyler Gabriel, with a career best in the 100 backstroke and a win the 100 butterfly, was one of several Dons with victories. Skyler Matthews (200 Free), John Salman (500 Free), Peter Loomis (100 fly), John Winsor (100 Breast) and Alex Roderick (100 Free) touched the wall first.

The girls received a strong performance from Dana Sloan, who had CIF consideration times in 100 and 200 free. Jessee Ransone swam her fastest ever in the 200 and 500 free.

Santa Barbara competes next at the Channel League Championships next week.
