CHENEY — Despite several team members battling cold and flu season, the Sandpoint Sharks pulled through and ended up with a handful of top swims at the 2023 IE Spokane Winter Invite held Dec. 8-10 at Cheney High.
“This meet is a fun prelim/final meet to prepare the swimmers for [our upcoming] championship meets,” head coach Emily Renzini said. “At this meet, only the top six in each event move on to finals. It’s not easy to do.”
Sandpoint’s Myelle Jensen proved she was not only ready to swim every event twice (preliminary and final), but that she could win a majority of those events pretty handily. Jensen won the 100-yard fly (1:07.60), the 50-yard back (30.35) and the 400 yard IM (5:10.79). The only event she placed second in was the 200-yard IM (2:25.70); she dropped almost 10 seconds from her previous best time in that race.
