Coach Dave Boggs said the meet helped his staff see if changes need to be made for the upcoming sectional.
“We looked for any last-minute surprises, and we might of had one tonight,” he said. “It’ our last meet between conference and sectionals. It’s nice to keep a little bit of a racing edge right now.”
In the 50 freestyle, the Owls took the top three spots led by Noah Bullard’s time of 23.39.
The Owls also took the top three in the 100 free, as Isaiah Sexton led the way with a time of 58.44.

In the diving well, Devin Ramsey scored 196.50 and Jhonatan Barradas tallied 94.95 points.
The 200 free relay team of Barradas, Daniel Hartman, Dalton and Dillon Polley was first at 1:57.27, and Skyle Cash, Pfaffenberger, Steve Frohling and Sexton got gold in the 400 relay combining for 4:01.31.

“We started tapering about two weeks ago,” Boggs said.
“They’re about midway through their taper. Their muscle fibers are healing, and we’re coming back. The tapering allows them to be a little flexible on their workouts. If they’re not feeling good we can have them back off a little bit, and they will be ready for sectional.
