Defending district champion Shorewood defeated the visiting Oak Harbor swim team 107-79 Thursday, Sept. 22.

The Wildcats were led by Ciara Hu who won two events in state-qualifying time. She captured the 200 individual medley in 2:17.41 and the 100 butterfly in 1:01.79.

Karina Concepcion was also a double winner, taking the 50 freestyle in 26.18 and the 100 backstroke in 1:05.29.

Angela Johnson won the diving event (122.95) for the other Wildcat win.

Oak Harbor coach Amy Merkley said she had "a lot of swimmers swim personal best times," but it wasn't enough to top the undefeated Thunderbirds (4-0).

The Wildcats (0-4) look to get their first win when Stanwood (4-1) visits Monday, Sept. 26, at 6 p.m.
