NORTH COAST, Calif. – The Clear Lake/Kelseyville combined high school swim team battled the elements on Thursday to compete against the Willits High swim team.

Both the girls and the boys won every race – handily scoring the most overall points – making both teams 2-0 in league competition.

“The success of this team lies with the dedication of the year-round swimmers and the tenacity of the new swimmers,” said head Coach Agustin Merodio. “Our year-round club swimmers are earning the first and second place finishes but our new swimmers are placing high in the ranks and scoring points for the team as well. We have a lot of talent in the water.”

Earning first place victories for the girls were Shannon Fronsman in the 100 Breaststroke, Lauren Rudnick in the 500 Free and 100 Fly, Nikki Hanson in the 200 Free and 100 Back, Kaylie Williams in the 100 Free and 50 Free, and Emma Larson in the 200 Individual Medley.

For the boys, first place victories to Charlie Adams in the 200 Free and 500 Free, Nick Dobusch in the 200 Individual Medley and the 100 Back, Max Madrzyk in the 50 Free and the 100 Free, Owen Lawler in the 100 Fly and 100 Breaststroke events.

The relay teams also were highly successful.

According to Merodio, “The boys have a relay team that may be breaking a lot of records this season. Another record fell on Thursday – the 200 Free Relay team made up of Diego Tejeda, Max Madrzyk, Nick Dobusch and Charlie Adams – beat another team record that was established in 2006. This team is one to watch throughout the season.”

Also taking first place honors was Rudnick, Hanson, Fronsman and Williams in the 200 Medley Relay; Rudnick, Hanson, Larson and Williams in the 200 Free Relay; Iris Vasquez, Catherine Braider, Shannon Fronsman and Mikayla Parrott in the 400 Free Relay; and Dobusch, Lawler, Adams and Madrzyk in the 200 Medley Relay.

Next up for the team is a league meet against Calistoga on Thursday.

The team reminds the community to come out and support them at Family Bingo Night on April 23 at the Lakeport Senior Center.

Doors open at 5 p.m. and the team is hoping to see everyone come out for this fun event.
