FEDERAL WAY - Moses Lake boys swimming capped off an outstanding year with a strong showing at the 4A state swim meet in Federal Way.

The Chiefs took sixth place, achieving the goal of a top 10 finish set by head coach Tony St. Onge.

"In a competitive situation there will be ups and downs throughout the contest and we definitely stayed mentally tough throughout the meet," he said.

Brenden Eslick reached the podium in the 200-yard freestyle after finishing second with a time of 1 minute, 43.77 seconds. He also took sixth in the 100-yard butterfly with a time of 52.29 seconds.

Zack Johnston placed fifth in the 200-yard freestyle as well as the 500-yard freestyle. Johnston's time of 4 minutes, 47.66 seconds in the 500-yard freestyle was a school record.

"We stepped up and competitively raced people every time we had the opportunity," St. Onge said.

Madison Molitor placed 13th in the 100-yard freestyle and Kaelan Connacher recorded a pair of 16th place finishes in the 100-yard freestyle and 100-yard backstroke.
