In boys competition, West improved to 2-0 with an impressive 130-36 triumph over the Black Knights.
The Titans took first in all events, including the relays. Swimmers on the first-place 200 medley team were Luke Spangler, Matt Carleton, Harrison Kuebler and Tony Chen. Chen, Richard, Greer, Joe Yeager and Justin Ray combined to win the 400 free.
The 200 free team consisted of Cameron Dean, Carleton, Greer and Luke Spangler.
Individually, Dean cruised to a win in the 50 free and also won the 100 breast with a regional-qualifying time. Other Titans to earn first-place finishes were Chen, Kuebler, Greer and Spangler.
West, which is coached by Tim Combs, also has a win over Reynolds this season. Team captains are returning seniors Dean, Joe Fulk, Yeager and Carleton. Pieter Smith is also a returning swimmer who will figure prominently in West’s bid for another CPC crown.
• In girls competition, West notched its first win of the year with a 106-61 triumph.
Meet-winning relay teams included the 200 medley (Katie Kibler, Meredith Riddle, Katie Cardwell and Molly Riddle); the 200 free (Molly Riddle, Kibler, Cardwell and Meredith Riddle): and the 400 free (Sara Showers, Mary Muster, Valerie Leung and Nicole Bart).
Kibler, Meredith Riddle and Molly Riddle also won individual events for the Titans. Molly Riddle, Muster, Erin Brawley and Bart are all seniors on this year’s West team. Laurel Varnell did not compete at the meet but will be a key member on the Titan squad.
“Our girls team is deeper than expected,” added coach Suzanne Kuebler. “I’ve been very pleased with their effort so far.”
Both West teams will compete in a 9/10 grade meet this Saturday at Winston-Salem State University. The meet will feature 14 teams from across the state.
