Kennett swims past archrival Unionville

The Kennett 200 medley relay of Liam Simmons, Nathan Ober, Ryan Barish and Ronan Gorman broke a school record with a time of 1:39.97, qualifying for the District 1 Championships, and helping the Blue Demons boys swim team to a historic win over their crosstown rival Unionville, 94-76, on Monday.

The Demons won the next four events, thanks to Barish (200 free), Ober (200 IM), Gorman (50 free) and Barish again (100 fly). Unionville hung around, but Kennett took control with a top-three sweep in the 100 free, with Simmons (49.91), Gorman (53.35) and Tyler Tebo (54.49). Unionville’s Thomas Smiddy won the 500 freestyle (5:14.20), and the Indians won the 200 free relay with Taylor Bohn, Connor Long, Jack Murray and Max Braithwaite (1:37.58).

Kennett took back control when Liam Simmons won the 100 backstroke (55.40) and Ober won the 100 breaststroke (1:00.76). The Demons sealed things in the 400 free relay, as Gorman, Barish, Ober and Simmons took first (3:26.91).
