The boys team earned the win on the power of seven victories — including all three relays — by a final score of 95.5-82.5. The girls won just five of 12 events, but had plenty of second-, third- and fourth-place points in a 110-74 triumph.
Four different swimmers each picked up an individual win for the boys team, with two of them contributing to a pair of relay wins.
Daniel Fisher owned the 100-yard breaststroke, winning by more than 12 seconds with a time of 1-minute, 10.84 seconds. Adam Miller also picked up a big victory, taking the 100-yard butterfly by nearly five seconds in 1:05.56.
The pair also teamed with Dave Johnston and Matt Peterson to capture the win in the 200-yard medley relay in 1:56.02. They joined Joseph Vormohr and Derick Lee to finish the 200-yard freestyle relay in 1:45.27 for another victory.
Peterson came away with another Jay County win as he took the 50-yard freestyle in 25.05. Johnston was first in the 100-yard freestyle in 1:00.15.
Vormohr, Scott Walker, Todd McCowan and Greg Current teamed to take the 400-yard freestyle relay in 3:56.05.
Sophomore Lindsey Vesperry starred for the girls swim team for the second straight meet. She took her individual win in the 200-yard freestyle by more than 20 seconds with a time of 2:22.37.
Vesperry and Rachel McKee were the common links in the Patriots’ two relay wins as well. They joined Vanessa Wilkins and Stephanie Rines to win the 400-yard freestyle relay in 4:33.62, and Julie Sours and Sarah Miller for the 200-yard freestyle relay victory in 1:56.35.
Sours led a one-two finish in the 100-yard breaststroke. She hit the wall ahead of teammate Tori Bradburn in 1:19.64.
Miller won the diving competition with 193.10 points.
