The Clemmons Courier - Add another win for West Forsyth boys swimming.
The Titans continued their undefeated season with a huge win in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County meet hosted by Winston Salem State on Saturday.
The Titans easily outdistanced second-place Reynolds by a score of 351.5- 240.
What made the difference?
Effort. “They all swam their hardest,” said West head coach Suzanne Kuebler. “They came to swim.”
West’s Kevin Jones, who plans on swimming in college for Denison University, won two events: 200 meter individual medley and 500 meter freestyle. “[Jones] is really cooperative and a pleasure to have on the team,” noted Kuebler.
Other first-place finishers for West were Tony Chen-50 freestyle; Richard Greer-100 freestyle; and John Scott-100 breaststroke. In addition, West racked up points by winning all three relay races.
The West Forsyth girls team placed fourth in the meet behind conference foes Reynolds, Reagan, and Mount Tabor.
“I was really pleased with their performance,” commented Kuebler. “The other three schools just have a lot more depth than we do.”
Laurel Varnell triumphed in the 100 breaststroke. Kuebler applauded Varnell, “She practices really hard and is a great competitor.”
