Shorewood swim team takes rare loss going into Thursday home meet with Lynnwood

The Shorewood girls' swim and dive team suffered a rare loss Tuesday, losing to Kamiak in a duel that came down to the end at Kamiak Pool.

Kamiak of the Western Conference 4A South pulled out the win with a final score of 95-91 over Shorewood of the Wesco 3A South.

Shorewood coach Susie McDowell said after the meet that the Lady Thunderbirds had a great day with state-qualifying relay performances in the 200-yard freestyle relay team of Erin Arslanoglu, Britt Blomso, Christina Garrison and Ari Norberg (1:44.45) and the 400 free relay team of Nicola Gerbino, Arslanoglu, Megan Pitts, and Britt Blomso (3:52.41). State-bound Blomso also improved her best in the 100 butterfly by going under a minute for the first time (59.81).

"On paper, Kamiak is a better team than us, but we wanted to give them a run and that, we did,” McDowel said. “Kids throughout the whole team swam best times and they really swam their hearts out. Disappointed for sure, but we were also content when we left the deck."

Shorewood plays host to Lynnwood Thursday at 3:30 at Shoreline Pool.
