Host Patriots cruise over SA

The Patriots simply had their opponent vastly outnumbered.

Jay County Junior High School’s swim teams used their numbers advantage Tuesday to cruise to victories of 160-10 over the visiting South Adams Starfires in the boys competition and 150-39 in the girls competition.

Most events in the meet were uncontested as South Adams had just one boy and three girls on its roster.

Rockland Beiswanger and Cooper Glentzer earned the only contested victories for the Patriot boys team. The former posted a time of 29.68 seconds in the 50-yard freestyle and the latter reached the wall in 1 minute, 33.53 seconds, in the 100 breaststroke.

The girls team also had just two contested victories. Kaitlyn Fisher took the top spot in the 100 breaststroke in 1:29.3 and Maria Laux was first in the 400 freestyle in 5:16.7.

Winners in races uncontested by the Starfires were:

•Alex Frazee in the boys 50 butterfly (44.7) and 100 individual medley (1:24.33)

•Carson Westgerdes in the boys 200 freestyle (2:19.01) and 400 freestyle (4:48.98)

•Brooklynn Byrum in the girls 50 butterfly (31.74) and 100 backstroke (1:17.48)

•Ben Fisher in the boys 100 backstroke (1:25.38)

•Glentzer in the boys 100 freestyle (58.93)
