Matthew Bergstrom and Kylie Webb won state titles for Hood River Valley Swim Team at the Oregon Swimming 10-and-under Championships in Albany, Ore., July 14-15.
Bergstrom, of Snowden, was victorious in the 50-meter butterfly for 10-year-old boys. In that swim, the first-time state champion re-set his own HRVST age-group record, finishing in a time of 35.12 seconds, which was 1.80 seconds faster than his previous team standard.
"Matt had a great meet," said HRVST Coach Shelly Rawding, noting Bergstrom posted personal records in five of his six swims.
In addition to his first-place effort in the 50-meter butterfly, Bergstrom placed second in the 100 freestyle, third in the 200 freestyle, 100 butterfly and 50 freestyle, and fifth in the 50 breast stroke.
Webb, of Hood River, also qualified for the state meet in six events and scored her victory in the 100-meter breast stroke for 10-year-old girls. Her time of 1 minute, 30.51 seconds was a personal record by 4.25 seconds.
Another local swimmer, Aidan Trummel of White Salmon, made his state-meet debut with a 25-place finish in the 50-meter breast stroke for boys 8 and under. His time, 1:08.78, was his best-ever for the event by 5.45 seconds.

Wooster, 15, of Husum, notched victories--and personal records--in the 400-meter individual medley (IM) and 200-meter breast stroke for boys 15-and-over, and accounted for 34 of HRVST's 457 points.
His time in the 400 IM (6 minutes, 4.44 seconds) was a personal record by 21.79 seconds; in the 200 breast stroke (3:07.72), by 6.98 seconds.
