SWM: Royals win dual meet against Oxnard

San Marcos swept a non-league swim meet against Oxnard. The boys won 128-45 and the girls prevailed 135-40.

George Kuesis, Spencer Kemp and Patrick Rowley were double winners for the boys. Kuesis won the 200 freestyle (1:52.66) and 100 free (51.73); Kemp captured the 100 breaststroke (1:09.42) and 50 free (23.93); Rowley took the 200 IM (2:20.25) and 100 back (1:04.27).

Kameron Bebb won the 100 fly in 1:09.42 and Taylor Lund captured the 500 free in 5:41.09.

“Overall, it was a good first meet for us,” San Marcos boys coach Jeff Ashton said. “I was probably most impressed with Kuesis’ swims. He is near his season-ending times of last year. Patrick Rowley is also a good addition to our team. He is a 9th grader but will definitely have a big impact this season.”

Amanda Hayes posted two CIF consideration times for the San Marcos girls. The freshman swam a 1:08.82 in the 100 breast and a 2:13.58 in the 200 IM. Her 200 IM time was a personal best.

Olivia Smith clocked a CIF consideration 100 Butterfly (1:00.13) and Paige Hauschild’s covered the 500 free in 5:17.79.

Coach Chuckie Roth also praised Halie Johnson for posting several early season best times.

Sophia Gaynes placed first in the 3-meter diving competition.
