ASTORIA BOYS SWIM TO SECOND STRAIGHT WIN

For the second time in a week, the Astoria boys swim team outscored Cowapa League rival Tillamook at a meet as the Fishermen won the Tillamook Invitational Thursday with 363 team points. The Cheesemakers were second with 316, despite getting four first places to Astoria's one.

Junior Dustin Manley swam to a first place finish by nearly 40 seconds in the 500 freestyle, finishing in 6:17.15

Astoria's girls team, reduced to eight participants due to a school choral concert, still managed a third place finish, led by first place finishes in the 200 and 400 freestyle relays.

Seaside's girls took first place with 287 points, followed by Valley Catholic with 242 and Astoria with 220. The Seagulls' Stephanie Hanthorn swam to first place in the 500 freestyle, nipping Valley Catholic's Stephanie Lo by two seconds with a time of 6:31.54.

Astoria heads to Rainier next Wednesday for a double-dual meet against the Columbians and the North Marion Huskies.
