By scoring in every event, the West Springfield Spartans amassed enough points to win a second straight Patriot District boys swimming and diving championship.
The Spartans won two of the 12 boys events and scored 452 points in the high-school meet, as their depth showed throughout the competition. Lake Braddock finished second with 410.
The victories came in the 200 freestyle relay in 1:26.36 and a win by Neil Wargin in the 100 free (47.61).
The sophomore also was fourth in the 50 free and swam on the winning relay.
Others on the relay were Hugh Wargin, Tristan Curb and Liam Seiger, who placed third in the 50 free and fourth in the butterfly.
“Across the board, we had a lot of personal-best times in the meet, and we had our best meet of the season,” West Springfield coach Kat Owczarski said. “We had a lot of swimmers finishing higher than their seeds.”
The Wargin brothers are twins. “They are a key for us,” Owczarski said.
Curb had a strong meet, with a second in the 500 free and third in the 200 free. Hugh Wargin was third in the 100 breaststroke and fifth in the individual medley.
Ian Naranjo had a strong meet as well. He was second in the 100 butterfly and fifth in the 100 backstroke. Rece Page was fifth in the 500 free and sixth in the back.
Wyatt Davis was fifth in the 500 free and seventh in the IM, Jackson Deekens was seventh in the breast, with Jadon Yonas, Ethan Kim, Ben Loughmiller, Jameson Serright, Matthew Alexander, Clark Loeffert, Cooper Lynch and Ian Schaper also contributing to the point total.
The 400 relay of Seiger, Page, Curb and Neil Wargin was second, with its season-best time by seven seconds, and the medley relay fourth.
In diving, Evan Vink was fourth and Grant McClure fifth.
The district title added to what was an undefeated regular season in dual meets for West Springfield.
