BLUFFTON — Tuesday’s swim meet was as close as some Olympic time trials.

Two of her sisters followed by notching three victories each. Alex Bader took the butterfy, IM and breastroke in the 11- and 12-year-old group while Sophie Bader nabbed wins in the buttery, IM and breastroke in the girls 15-and-older.
Anne Vormohr added three more wins in the 15-and-older group, taking the long free, backstroke and short free, while Sok Vormohr was the only triple winner on the boys side, winning the butterfly, IM and short free at the 13 and 14-year-old level.
Double event winners included Lilly Clemmons and Eliza Bader and Sydney Mathias for the girls and Alex LeMaster and Ian Reynolds on the boys side.
Ashlyn Dow won the breastroke for the girls 9 and 10-year old group and Alex Sutton won the 15-and-older boys short free.
