THE DALLES — The Dalles High Riverhawks boys and girls swim teams competed in two meets — Jan. 18 in the Madras White Buffalo Classic and Jan. 25 in La Grande.
At Madras, the Riverhawks recorded a combined boys/girls total of 11 top five finishes and one event win. Led by sophomore dual-sport winter student athlete Kaiya Doty (four top-fives), the eight-member girls squad took fifth place in team scoring with 161 points in the 10-team meet. The Redmond High Panthers won with 287 points.
Doty notched two top-five individual finishes, and also combined with teammates Laura Black, Lillen Vaught and Rowena Benjamin to help the Riverhawks swim to two top-five relay finishes. The quartet took third in the 200 medley relay (2:20.23) and fifth in the 200 freestyle relay (2:02.04).
Doty took fifth place in the 100 butterfly (1:21.33) and fourth in the 200 free (2:23.00). Vaught, a sophomore, took fourth in the 100 free (1:04.95).
