Jennings, a sophomore, touched the wall .23 seconds ahead of Hood River Valley junior David Walker to win Pendleton’s only district gold medal, and the Bucks held off the Eagles 189.5-178.5 for the team championship. Pendleton’s girls were second behind Hood River with 143 points, but did not advance any swimmers to the state meet. Only champions earned automatic berths, while sec- RQGSODFH ¿QLVKHUV KDG WR hope for one of only four wild-card berths awarded statewide. Both of Pendleton’s short relays were able to make the cut, as was senior Nate Rick- man in one of his individual events. The 200-yard freestyle team of Dylan Clemons, Rickman, Lukas Johnson and Grant Banister posted a time of 1:37.28 to earn a lane in the state pool. Jennings and Layton Kirsch will replace Clemons and Banister on the state team. The 200 medley team made state with a time of 1:48.25 with Jennings, Clem- ons, Kirsch and Colin Rick- man swimming legs. Nate Rickman will take the place of his younger brother on the state team. The Buckaroo senior will also compete in the 50-yard freestyle. He was second in the district with a time of 23.74. He also placed second in the 200 freestyle, but his time of 1:57.23 wasn’t fast enough for a state berth. 3HQGOHWRQ¶V ¿QDO VWDWH berth went to Jennings with second place in the 100 IUHHVW\OH +H ¿QLVKHG LQ D dead heat with Hood River Valley’s Stanley Ochesky in DQGERWKTXDOL¿HGIRU state. ——— Team Scores Boys 1, Pendleton 2, Hood River 3, The Dalles 4, Hermiston Girls 1, Hood River 2, Pendleton 3, The Dalles 4, Hermiston 189.5 178.5 62 51 186 143 108 60 Pendleton Top 3 placers: Boys 200 freestyle relay, 2nd, 1:37.28 Dylan Clemons — 2nd, 100 breaststroke, 1:11.52; 3rd, 50 freestyle, 24.86 Jon Jennings — 1st, 100 backstroke, 58.32; 2nd, 100 freestyle, 51.99 Rylan Headley — 3rd, 100 backstroke, 1:09.71 Lukas Johnson — 3rd, 500 freestyle, 5:38.17; 3rd, 200 freestyle, 1:57.61 Layton Kirsch — 2nd, 100 butterfly, 59.90; 2nd, 200 individual medley, 2:15.73 Nate Rickman — 2nd, 50 freestyle, 23.74; 2nd, 200 freestyle, 1:57.23 Girls 400 freestyle relay, 2nd, 4:56.97 200 freestyle relay, 3rd, 1:52.68 Courtney Comrie — 2nd, 100 breast- stroke,1:19.72; 2nd 100 backstroke, 1:05.80 Olivia Broker — 3rd, 100 breaststroke, 1:23.01; 3rd, 500 freestyle, 6:50.16 Bethany Van Cleave — 2nd, 500 freestyle, 6:05.10 Sam Schmitz — 3rd, 100 freestyle, 1:00.62; 2nd 50 freestyle, 26.64 Oceane Schreier — 3rd, 200 individual medley, 2:47.55 Hermiston Top 3 placer: Girls 400 freestyle relay, 3rd, 5:06.6 GIRLS HOOPS HOOD RIVER — The Pendleton Buckaroos wasted no time getting to work on a Columbia River Confer- ence rout on Tuesday, and easily put away Hood River Valley 77-35.
