Jay divers place third
The Patriot girls were runners-up by one point in their home invite a year ago.
The swimmers have some ground to make up following the diving results.
The boys will be a distant second when their meet resumes too.
Lauren Brewster and Justice Murphy of the Jay County High School swim team both finished third Friday in the diving portion of the Jay County Invitational.
“Our divers are coming along strong and helping us out a lot for two newbies,” JCHS coach Matt Slavik said.
In the first 11-dive meet of her career, Brewster, a freshman, scored 264.25 points. Oak Hill swept the top two spots. Lexi Ozman was the winner with 327.25 points, and Cora Saylor had 273.25 points for third.
Laura Hipple of Fort Recovery finished seventh with 187.3 points.
Brewster’s effort earned the Patriots 16 team points for when the girls resume at 10 a.m. today with the swimming championships.
“I thought Lauren did an outstanding job,” Slavik said. “It was her first 11-dive meet. She went through all of them and landed them all pretty well.
“She was a little upset she didn’t do better because she was practicing better than what she did, but for all intents and purposes her first 11-dive meet is kind of stressful so it throws her off. I thought she did a great job.”
Oak Hill heads into today’s swimming portion in first place with 37 team points. Bluffton is second with 27 points, as Emily Hiday and Mallory Craighead were fifth and sixth respectively.
Hipple earned 12 points for the Indians, who begin this morning in fifth place.
Oak Hill swept the top two spots in the boys competition as well. Owen Brookshire totaled 373.5 points for the win, and Braden Wagner earned 364.15 points for runner-up. Murphy was a distant third with 266.45.
“He has just come into his own,” Slavik said of Murphy. “He’s getting a lot stronger off the board. We’re hoping he cleans a few things up and I think he’ll have a pretty good run as we get into conference and sectional.”
Alex Hiser of Fort Recovery scored 172.45 points for sixth.
Oak Hill’s boys enter today’s competition with a high of 37 points. Murphy’s 16 points puts Jay County in second, and Coldwater has 15 points for third.
Fort Recovery is fifth with 13 points.
The girls will kick off today’s swimming at 10 a.m. The boys will begin at 1 p.m.
