TACOMA — The Port Angeles boys swim team took third out of six teams at the Flacon Relays at Foss High School on Saturday.
“It was a successful day,” Roughrider coach Rich Butler said. “It gave us a chance to step up our game against tougher competition.”
The top event for the Riders was a first-place finish in the 200-yard medley relay in one minute, 53.43 seconds by the team of Tyler Burke, Charlie Parks, Avery Koehler and Matt Watkins.
Burke was the only individual winner for Port Angeles, taking first in the 50 freestyle in 23.79.
The events were judged differently from other meets allowing only one kid per event, per school, which meant swimming against each school’s best in the event.
The Riders travel for their next meet at Kingston on Tuesday at 3:30 p.m.
