Kalani, Roosevelt win OIA swimming titles
Advertiser Staff
Kaiser senior Ashley Swart set her second meet record as Kalani's girls and Roosevelt's boys brought home championships in the O'ahu Interscholastic Association public school championships at Kalani on Saturday.
Swart broke her own 200-yard individual medley record, set last year, with a time of 2:06.63 on Saturday. In Friday's qualifying heats she broke the 16-year-old 500 freestyle record with a time of 5:00.01.
Kalani's girls outscored Kaiser, 227 to 205, in a close battle. Kaiser was also second in boys, losing to Roosevelt, 230 to 160.
Each league will have a "last-chance" meet this week to qualify for the state championships, which will be held in Kailua, Kona, on the Big Island Feb. 22-23.
