McNary sweeps
West Salem in
dual meet
By MATT RAWLINGS
Of the Keizertimes
Early into the Mountain
Valley Conference season, it’s
clear that the McNary High
School swim team is a force
to be reckoned with.
The Celtics swept their
dual meet for the second
straight week with West Sa-
lem being the victim this
time around. McNary’s boys
squad took down the Titans
by a score of 103-47 while
the girls team came out on
top with a 83-72 win on
Thursday, Dec. 13 at the Kroc
Center.
Even though both victo-
ries were impressive, McNary
head coach Casey Lewin was
more pumped about the win
for the girls — especially
since they were without one
of their top swimmers in Al-
yssa Garvey, who is currently
rehabbing an injury.
“It was a big accomplish-
ment. They were so excited
to win because West (Salem)
is a really strong program,
especially on the girls side,”
Lewin said. “We know how
good West is, so to come out
and get a win when we’re not
at full strength was huge.”
With Garvey out of the
lineup, a pair of freshmen
were able to step up in her
absence.
McNary’s Kaylynn Vil-
lalobos knocked off the high-
er-seeded Callie Luth from
West Salem in the 50-yard
freestyle with a winning time
of 27.63. Villalobos was also
victorious in the 100-back-
stroke (1:09.01).
The Celtics other fresh-
man star, Paris Boyd, won
the 100-breaststroke by more
than 10 seconds (1:16.21).
Both swimmers also played
big roles in McNary’s victory

McNary junior Eloisa Moreno swims the freestyle portion of the
200 individual medley in a meet from earlier this season.
in the 200-individual medley
relay.
“It’s awesome having
freshmen be so successful be-
cause they’re only going to
get stronger and faster,” Ca-
sey said. “And having young
talent like that helps motivate
the other kids as well. They
see where the bar is at and it
makes everyone better.”
Alex Beard was the oth-
er individual winner for the
McNary girls with her win in
the 200-IM (2:22.12).
On the boys side, it would
have been diffi cult for Mc-
Nary to dominate more than
they did. The Celtics won 10
of the 11 varsity races and
only surrendered a defeat in
the 200-free.
“It’s not just a small hand-
ful of guys that are swim-
ming well right now. It’s a
total team effort,” Lewin said
about the success of the boys
team.
McNary’s Kyle Hooper
easily won both the 200-IM
(2:10.69) and the 100-but-
terfl y (1:00.72). Harrison
Vaughn was the fi rst-place
fi nisher in 500-free (5:19.69)
and the 100-breast (1:10.58)
for the Celtics.
Along with Hooper and
Vaughn, Jabez Rhoades also
won a pair of events in this
meet. Rhoades fi nished fi rst
in the 50-free (24.95) and the
100-free (57.74) and swam
some of the best times of his
career.
“I just came out and swam
fast,” Rhoades said. “That was
the fastest I’ve ever swam in
a race that wasn’t at districts.”
Jackson McCarthy round-
ed out McNary’s individual
victories with his fi rst-place
fi nish in the 100-back.
