Despite having just seven athletes in the pool, Sequim’s boys swimming squad found some silver linings in their 115-50 loss to the Olympic Trojans on Jan. 18.

Despite having just seven athletes in the pool, Sequim’s boys swimming squad found some silver linings in their 115-50 loss to the Olympic Trojans on Jan. 18.

Senior Eric Prosser trimmed his season’s best marks in the 100 backstroke and 100 fly events, earning first and second in those events, and continues to close in on postseason-qualifying marks.

Wendall Lorenzen cut 10 seconds off his best time in the 200 free (2:41) to take third in the event and a full 14 seconds off his previous best in the 100 free (1:13).

Andrew Hansted snagged third place in his first try at the 100 breaststroke with a 1:39 finish.

“He’s a natural,” Sequim coach Linda Moats said. “With training and hard work, he might be able to qualify for districts this year.”

Sequim’s 400 free relay team — Eric and Charlie Prosser, Lorenzen and Brandon Grow — posted their best time this season with what Moats called solid swims for all legs. Eric Prosser capped the effort with a 55-second anchor leg.

The Wolves (0-3) are out of the pool until Jan. 7, when they host the North Kitsap Vikings (2-1) and Jan. 15 when they host Klahowya Eagles (0-1).
