NK relays ranked No. 1 heading to 2A state swim meet

nkswimThe North Kitsap 200 freestyle and 400 freestyle relays are ranked No. 1 heading into the Class 2A state swimming and diving championships this week at the King County Aquatic Center.

The 200 free relay, which won the West Central District title last weekend, set a district record in 1 minute, 40.54 seconds. The winning relay included Isabel Hendryx, Dannica Hennings, Izy Iral and Eleanor Beers. NK coach Greg Braun uses the same lineup for the 400.

It was also during the district meet that NK set four school records, and three meet records, on the first day and then five school records and five meet records the second day.

Swim dad RJ Iral put together a great little video of the relay win.

Bonus: I’ve mentioned the name Eleanor Beers before on The Blogstroke, as an age grouper, but this will be her first high school state finals. Beers, a freshman from North Kitsap, anchored both relays for the Vikings at district and then just destroyed the field in the 100 freestyle (which you can watch here). Will be fun to see what she can do Friday and hopefully Saturday.
