Balllard swimming sweeps KingCo in regular season

The Ballard High School girls swim team swam laps around its KingCo 4A competition this season, going 5-0 in conference meets.

The perfect conference record in regular-season meets was cemented when the Beavers swept three KingCo opponents – Woodinville, Bothell and Inglemoor – Oct. 17 at the Mercer Island Pool.

Ballard beat Bothell 100-86, Inglemoor 95-91 and Woodinville 110-75.

The Beavers' Annemarie Thayer set state qualifying times in the 100 meter backstroke and the 100 meter freestyle with times of 1:00.61 and 55.28 respectively.

Katie Jo Burkland set another state qualifying time for Ballard, finishing the 500 meter freestyle in 5:15.23.

In addition to Woodinville, Bothell and Inglemoor, the Beavers beat Lake Washington and Roosevelt earlier this season.

Ballard (5-3 overall) will put its dominance of KingCo teams to the test at the KinCo Championships Oct. 30 through Nov. 1 at the Mercer Island Pool.
