Senior Spencer Sholl, freshman Hunter James pace Tigers to high school swim win over Routt

EDWARDSVILLE - Edwardsville High School’s boys swim team topped Routt 133-66 in a dual meet Tuesday, using primarily a junior varsity lineup.

Tigers’ head coach Christian Rhoten said it was a good meet for his squad.

Spencer Sholl was a double event winner for the Tigers, capturing first in the 100-yard butterfly (1:06.97); and the 100-yard backstroke (1:04.42). Freshman Hunter James also won two individual events - the 200-yard free (2:18.56); and the 100-yard free (1:02.00).

Other individual winners were Graham Peterson in the 200 I.M. (2:23.12); McClain Oertle in the 50 free (26.03); Alex Naeger in the 1-Meter Diving (160.20 points); and Noah May in the 500 free (5:25.31).

“We lifted weights and had a short swim practice before the meet began in an effort to fatigue the athletes before competing,” he said. “Despite this, we had some good performances. We are training hard throughout the week and looking forward to our meet against O’Fallon on Thursday.”
