Jay edges Wells
A multitude of second, third and fourth-place finishes again lifted the Jay County Summer Swim Team to a victory Thursday as it defeated Wells Community 567-522.
Much like it’s win in the Wabash Valley Conference Relay Championships Saturday, Jay County lost a majority of the individual races. It took just 19 of the 60 individual events while splitting the 20 relays, but won the meet with its depth.
Nine of Jay’s 19 wins came from three individual triple-event winners: Cori Vormohr, Alysha Miller and Sam Miller.
Vormohr took first in the 11-12-year-old girls long freestyle, individual medley and breaststroke. Sam Miller won the same three events in the same age group on the boys side.
Alysha Miller was also victorious in the long freestyle, and added wins in the butterfly and short freestyle.
The only swimmer to win a pair of events on the evening for Jay was Rachel Vogler in the 8-and-under girls division. She was first in the long freestyle and the short freestyle.
Other first-place finishers for Jay were Annie Vormohr, Lane Hull, Zane Shreve, A.J. Pettyjohn, Richard Osterholt, Shelby Rines, Brittany Teagle and Derrick Lee.
The team will swim in the Union City Invitational Saturday at 9 a.m.
