WILMINGTON — For the first time since at least 2015-16, and in the final event of the night, the Clinton-Massie girls swim team defeated Wilmington.
In a tri-meet with Waynesville Thursday night at the Wilmington College pool, Clinton-Massie edged Wilmington by the slimmest of margins, 115 to 114.
In the boys meet, Waynesville was easily first with 158 points followed by Wilmington 51, Clinton-Massie 18. Waynesville won each of the 11 events.
Wilmington had an individual second in the 200 freestyle as Aidan Benitez was runnerup in 2:48.1. Benitez, Sam Burt, Henry Hildebrandt and Preston Zeigler were second in the 200 free relay.
Clinton-Massie had Quinton Smith second in the 400 free in 5:55.63.
In the girls meet, going to the final event Wilmington was on top 104-99. Win or not, Wilmington just needed to finish ahead of Clinton-Massie to win the meet.
Instead, the Falcon quartet of Malea Beam, Bailee Williams, Emma Everitt and Erin Belisle swam 5:13.2 and easily won the relay event, and the meet, by 33 seconds.
Other Massie wins came in the 200 free (Everitt), 200 IM (Beam), 100 breast (Ellie Smith) and the 200 medley relay (Williams, Smith, Beam, Erin Belisle).
