Hood River boys win IMC swimming championship
■
By Brandon Risley
and Joe Petshow
The deepest teams usually
have the most success at dis-
trict meets, and Saturday’s
Intermountain Conference
swimming championship
was no exception.
The Hood River Valley
boys and Pendleton girls
won the 2021 IMC titles at
Hood River Aquatics Center.
HRV’s boys won comfort-
ably, but Pendleton edged
Hood River for the girls
crown, 376-375.
“Our boys won by their
depth — we were able to
field B relays and had many
swimmers that scored just
a few points, but they all
added up for the win,” HRV
Coach Shelly Rawding said.
“It was an awesome team
effort by all the Eagle boys
who competed in the meet.”
Hood River’s boys scored
288 points and Redmond
was second with 219.
Redmond had won the past
two IMC district crowns. The
Dalles boys were third with
185 points.
This year’s girls team
result was a flip-flop of
the 2019 and 2020 meets,
as well, won by HRV.
Pendleton’s 2-3 finish in
the meet’s final event, the
400-yard freestyle relay,
clinched the girls title for the
Buckaroos. Hood River won
the event, as it did all three
relays.
“Our girls also showed
their versatility in the stroke
events and had two double
event winners with Sarah
Arpag and Michelle Graves,”
Rawding said. “We won all
three relays, and had depth
for B relays, as well, but
Pendleton was right there
with us and came out on top
by one point this year.”
HRV scored 160 points
in the girls relays, including
32 in each of its three wins.
Pendleton countered with
the maximum of four
entrants in all but two of the
eight individual events. As
a result, the Buckaroos out-
scored HRV in five of those
events.
Pendleton’s biggest
lead was 21 points after
it outscored Hood River
30-17 in the 500 freestyle.
But the Eagles outscored
the Buckaroos in each of
the next three events — 200
free relay, 100 backstroke
and 100 breaststroke — to
pull within 326 to 323 before
the final event, the 400 free
relay. Hood River easily won
that race by 15 seconds, but
Pendleton finished second
and third for 50 team points.
The Eagles’ B team was fifth
for 20 points, and that com-
bined with the 32 first-place
points left HRV one shy of
the Buckaroos in the team
competition.
Hood River had two
double winners in Arpag
and Graves. Arpag won
the 100-yard butterfly (by
nine seconds) and edged
Pendleton’s Melinda Cramp
by a half second in the 100
backstroke. Graves won
the 200 individual medley
by 16 seconds and the 100
breaststroke. Cramp was
Pendleton’s lone individ-
ual girls champion (100
freestyle).
“In addition to Sarah and
Michelle’s double wins,
other notable swims in-
cluded Abby McCormack’s
awesome finish to win the 50
free by a few hundreths of a
second,” Rawding said.
McCormack was seeded
second to Lydia DiGennaro
of The Dalles in the short
race, but edged past at the
finish to win 26.54 to 26.57.
HRV’s Emma Titus broke
the 60-second barrier for
Hood River Valley’s Gavin Hackett, above, competes in the boys
100 yard butterfly during Saturday’s district meet in Hood River.

cheers him on as he makes a turn.
Mark B. Gibson photo
the first time in the 100 free
(finishing second in 59.11 to
Cramp’s 57.03) and won the
200 free. Madaket Greenleaf
was second in the latter race
for 13 team points.
“For how short this season
was I’m incredibly proud
of the way our swimmers
competed today,” said Eagle
assistant Coach Connor
Webb. “Times may not have
been what were last year, but
the effort was incredible.”
Hood River’s district
relay champions included:
Arpag, Graves, Greenleaf
and McCormack in the
200 medley; McCormack,
Titus, Graves and Greenleaf
in the 200 free; and Titus,
Olivia Summerfield, Abby
Tomlinson and Arpag in the
400 free.
Like the Pendleton girls,
the HRV boys’ depth car-
ried them to the title. The
Eagles had two individual
champions: Luke Southall
won the 200 free — by 17
seconds — and Gavin
Hackett took gold in the 100
fly. Southall was second in
the 100 free and anchored
HRV’s second place 200
medley relay and its third
place 200 free relay. Hackett
also was second in the
100 back and swam legs
on HRV’s medley and free
relays.
Hackett’s 100 butterfly
championship included a
second-place finish by The
Dalles’ Michael Cole, who
was third in the 50 free to
lead the Riverhawk boys
placers (25 team points).
Teammate Skyler Coburn
was fourth in the 200 free.
Other top individual
places for the Riverhawk
girls included DiGennaro’s
aforementioned second in
the 50 free and third place
in the 100 free. Teammate
Hannah Haight was third
in the 100 breaststroke and
fourth in the 500 free. Paige
Compton of The Dalles was
fourth in the 200 free.
Riverhawk Coach Derek
Shortt said, “We swam hard
and achieved our goals.
Coming third in both com-
petitions without our full
complement of swimmers
and meets is something
we’re really happy with.”
