In the first year of the resurrected 4A North Puget Sound League, Kentridge High School girls swim and dive team captured the Cascade Division title.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“It’s an exciting time for us to be in a new league,” coach Eric Kress said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Chargers were 7-0 in dual meets in the division and 7-1 overall – the only loss a league meet against Puyallup.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Our dual meets went pretty well in the division,” Kress said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Kentridge won its biggest meet of the regular season with a 104-81 victory over Tahoma on Sept. 20, which set the Chargers up to win the division. Tahoma (6-1) finished second in the division.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“That meet, in general, was the team’s big thing,” Kress said. “Tahoma is one of the stronger teams in the league .”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Last season, Kentridge missed the division title with a loss to Tahoma in the last meet of the season.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Kress attributed the team’s success to its depth. There is a solid group of seniors who have been on the team for several years, coupled with strong freshman and sophomore classes, he said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Of the 33 swimmers on the team, 25 qualified for the NPSL meet, which is at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 22, at Hazen Pool in Renton. Last year, 16 of the 36 swimmers competed in the league meet.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“We definitely have our sights set on the league meet,” Kress said. “It is kind of big that almost the whole team (qualified for leagues).”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The West Central District 4A championship meet is Oct. 27-29 at Curtis Aquatic Center in University Place. The 4A state championships are Nov. 11-12 at King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
