The Hamilton Southeastern swim teams swept the team championships at the Homestead Invitational on Saturday.
The Royals boys won with 726 points, nicely ahead of the host Spartans’ 650 points. Concord was third with 374 and Yorktown took fourth with 300.
Southeastern winners were Keegan Streett in the 200 (1:44.47) and 100 (48.86) freestyles, DJ Rogers in the 50 free (22.09), the 200 free relay team of Rogers, Streett, Andrew Christopher and Zack Bostock (1:28.04).
“Your HSE Royal Men have never won the Homestead Invitational before so this was a fun one – especially after having a really nice meet last weekend against Homestead,” said Southeastern coach Andy Pedersen. “The Spartans were looking for payback and ready for our guys today, but the boys were able to do enough to get the victory.”
Southeastern’s girls team scored 718 points to get the victory, edging out Homestead’s 695 points. Concord was third with 532 and Yorktown fourth with 206. Abby Harter won the backstroke in a time of 59.57.
“These girls are tired and focused on holiday training which makes this win even more impressive,” said Pedersen. “It looked a little rough at the beginning of the meet, but the girls battled back and swam an entire meet with outstanding depth. Every girl on the pool deck today contributed and our team could not have won this meet without such a complete team effort.”
