SPORTS THE DAILY ASTORIAN • FRIDAY, JANUARY 23, 2015 7A Gulls and Fishermen split the Clatsop Splash By GARY HENLEY The Daily Astorian The Seaside and Asto- ria swim teams met for the “Clatsop Splash” dual meet Thursday at the Astoria Aquatic Center, and the two rivals called it a draw, with the Seaside boys and the Lady Fish both scoring team victories. Despite missing a few key swimmers, the Astoria girls scored enough points to get past the Lady Gulls, 85-77; while the Seaside boys con- tinued their winning ways in dual meets with a 99-57 win. The Seaside boys have now won 13 consecutive dual meets over the last two years, with one more remaining this season before the league and district meets. Seaside and Astoria will take part in the Cowapa Championships, hosted by Scappoose Feb. 6, with dis- tricts the following weekend. With a 6-0 mark in dual meets this season, the Seaside boys have high hopes of win- ning some heavy hardware. ³7KH ER\V DUH GH¿QLWHO\ pretty excited that we have the win streak going,” said Seaside coach Alex Reed. “That makes it 13 in a row to- day. We have Tillamook next week, and Tillamook’s going to be tough, so we’ll have to swim well there. Hopefully ZHFDQ¿QLVKWKHVHDVRQZLWK another undefeated record.” Five different Seaside swimmers won seven events Thursday, with Brad Rze- wnicki (200-yard freestyle and 100-yard backstroke), and Sam Beaudoin (50- and 100-yard freestyles) leading the way as double winners.

The Lady Fish scored most of their points with depth, as they were missing Morgan Postlewait and Ken- dal Gustafson from the line- up. Reed said, “Our girls real- ly stepped up. We’re seeing some big time drops out of most of them.
