Evey Fahnestock captured two individual first-place finishes and helped her team post a pair of relay victories as Carlynton’s girls swim team claimed its first dual meet win of the season Thursday, 73-63, over the Ellis School at Carlynton.
It was the first Class 2A Section 1 victory of the season for the Cougars. Ellis did not field a boys team so the Carlynton boys swam for fun, coach Kevin MacMurdo said.
In the girls meet, Fahnestock won the 500-yard freestyle and the 100 breaststroke, and also took part in victorious 400 free relay and 200 free relay efforts.
Also competing on both winning relay efforts were Chloe Baum, Allie Glass and Mallory Rose.
In addition to their relay duties, Baum won the 50 free, Glass took first in the 100 backstroke and Rose tied for first in the 200 free.
Cate Hites also was an individual event winner for the Cougars, as she took first in the 100 butterfly.
Sarah Loney, meanwhile, placed second in two events – the 500 free and the 100 fly.
