Both the South Coast Aquatic Team and the Gold Coast Swim Team had four athletes qualify for the upcoming state meet with strong finishes in the Oregon B/C Championships last weekend.
The meet, hosted by SCAT at North Bend Municipal Pool, was the last chance for swimmers to qualify for state by meeting the “A” standard in events.
SCAT was represented by 37 swimmers in the meet, while 35 swimmers from Gold Coast Swim Team and 12 from the Reedsport Aqua Braves also participated.
SCAT siblings Nathan and Alyssa Monohon each qualified for state in two events. Nathan, 7, advanced in both the 50-yard backstroke and 50-yard breaststroke, while Alyssa, 9, qualified in the 50- and 100-yard butterfly events.
Also for SCAT, Matthew Perry, 8, qualified in the 50 backstroke, while Justin Pallo, 10, met the qualifying mark in the 100 backstroke.
Gold Coast’s Garrett Swafford, a 14-year-old Marshfield freshman, advanced in the 50-, 100-, 200- and 500-yard freestyle races.
Jack Larson, 8, qualified in the 50 backstroke and 100 freestyle. Makayla Proett, 8, qualified in the 25 backstroke and 50 butterfly. Andrew Hobson, 7, met the standard in the 50 butterfly.
The state meet for swimmers 10 and under will be held Feb. 16-17 in Springfield. The 11-14 state meet is the following weekend in Corvallis.
