PREP SWIMMING Shepherd leads Pirates to district title Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Feb. 14, 2016 at 12:01 AM Posted Feb. 14, 2016 at 12:01 AM » Social News NORTH BEND — Ethan Shepherd was part of two school records and led the Phoenix boys swim team to its second straight District 4 championship Saturday at the North Bend Municipal Pool. The Pirates edged favored North Bend, 222.5 points to 218.5, after the Bulldogs’ leading 200-yard freestyle relay team was disqualified. Had it won the race, North Bend would have taken the meet. St. Mary’s placed fifth and Cascade Christian ninth. In the girls meet, North Bend won with 379 points. Phoenix placed fifth and St. Mary's 10th. Event winners qualified for the state meet Friday and Saturday at Mt. Hood Community College in Gresham. Wild cards will fill out spots at state. The senior Shepherd repeated as champion in the 50- and 100-yard freestyles, setting a record in the former. He also was part of the record-setting 200 medley relay team that placed second and the runner-up 200 free relay. Shepherd’s 50 free time of 22.39 seconds broke Justin Heath’s 2005 record of 22.41. Shepherd and North Bend’s Jerrad Perez-Duncan had a rare tie in the event; judges ruled Shepherd would receive the higher seed at state. Shepherd’s time in the 100 free was 51.13 seconds. In the 200 medley relay, St. Mary’s quartet of Jasper Zhu, Scott Younker, Caleb Ringger and Chris Ball won in 1:48.76. The Pirates were next in their record time of 1:49.63. Joining Shepherd were Bryce Roy, Thomas Ward and Eddie Stewart. The only other local winner was Zhu, a freshman who captured the 100 backstroke in 59.96 seconds. Other runners-up for the local boys were Phoenix’s Stewart in the 100 butterfly, Cascade Christian’s Christian Scaglione in the 100 breaststroke and St. Mary’s 400 free relay. Runners-up for the local girls were Phoenix’s Lauren Speaks in the 200 individual medley and the 100 breast, and Phoenix’s Emily Samudio in the 100 fly BOYS (Winners, top 6 local placers) TEAM SCORES: Phoenix 222.5, North Bend 218.50, Marshfield 179, Henley 167, St. Mary’s 155, Cottage Grove 125, Klamath Union 54, North Valley 41, Cascade Christian 24, Mazama 7. 200 MEDLEY RELAY — 1, St. Mary’s (Jasper Zhu, Scott Younker, Caleb Ringger, Chris Ball) 1:48.76; 2, Phoenix 1:49.63. 200 FREESTYLE — 1, Karl Stuntzner-Gibson, NB, 1:44.88; 5, Alec Shepherd, Pho, 2:00.68. 200 INDIVIDUAL MEDLEY — 1, Johnny Witt, CG, 2:09.21; 4, Eddie Stewart, Pho, 2:18.27; 6, Taylor Brown, Pho, 2:22.92. 50 FREESTYLE — 1, (tied) Ethan Shepherd, Pho, and Jerrad Perez-Duncan, NB, 22.39; 4, Christian Scaglione, CC, 23.62; 6, Chris Ball, St.M, 24.46. 100 BUTTERFLY — 1, Danny Woodruff, NB, 56.51; 2, Eddie Stewart, Pho, 1:02.56; 4, Brent Flynn, Pho, 1:07.40. 100 FREESTYLE — 1, Ethan Shepherd, Pho, 51.13; 3, Scott Younker, St.M, 53.92; 4, Chris Ball, St.M, 54.37. 500 FREESTYLE — 1.
