Sequim’s Olympic League girls home swim meet with Bremerton on Sept. 27 was decided in the final event with the Wolves triumphing at the Sequim YMCA.

“It was an exciting back-to-back meet for the duration, but we pulled out a win 77-70,” Sequim coach Sarah Thorson said.

“It truly came down to the final event, the 400-yard freestyle relay. We went into the final event down by three points.”

The relay squad of Melia Nelson, Natalie Cross, Ava Shinkle and Annie Ellefson rolled to a time of four minutes, 19.61 seconds in the 400 free relay, with teammates Keira Morey, Naomi Begiyakov, Violet Phillips and Addison Long earning second in 5:28.8, more than 20 seconds ahead of third-place Bremerton.

“Our girls continued to swim great with some personal bests and district-qualifying times for Annie Ellefson in the 100 breaststroke and Ava Shinkle in the 200 individual medley,” Thorson said.

Current district qualifiers from Sequim include: Nelson, Cross, Shinkle and Ellefson, with all four qualifying in more than one event,” Thorson noted.

Sequim was scheduled to host Klahowya on Sept. 29 but the meet was cancelled for a variety of reasons, coaches said.

The Wolves host Port Angeles on Oct. 4 and North Kitsap on Oct. 6.

Sequim competes at Bainbridge on Oct. 11 and Olympic on Oct. 20 before the “Last Chance” meet, scheduled for Oct. 25 in Port Angeles.
