FARMERS KORNER – The Summit High School boys swimming and diving team made the podium in almost every event Saturday during its home meet against Arvada West and Golden high schools.

The 400-yard freestyle relay team of Pete Richmond, Josh Gammel, John McGee and Eric Lowe won the event and also qualified for state with a time of 3 minutes, 43.92 seconds.

The Tigers’ only diver, Joe Baldwin, won with 177.90 points, and Summit’s 200 medley relay team took second. Richmond also took second in the 100 butterfly and third in the 200 individual medley behind Lowe, who took second and third in the 100 breaststroke. Third places also went to Marc Miller in the 200 freestyle, David Shaffer in the 500 freestyle, and the 200 freestyle relay team.



The Tigers’ next meet is 4:30 p.m. Tuesday at Englewood.

Summit baseball loses



to Conifer

DENVER – The Summit High School baseball team lost 8-4 to Conifer Saturday at All Star Park in Denver.

Conifer started out strong, scoring seven runs in the first three innings. The Tigers saved their momentum for the last four, but it was too late.

“We had a couple early opportunities we didn’t capitalize on,” said Summit coach John Padjen. “Once we fell down, we played a little better. We scored four runs in the last two innings. If we would have capitalized earlier, it could have gone the other way.”

Casey Anderson continued his scoring role from the Tigers’ 14-9 win against Jefferson Friday. He followed through Saturday hitting two for four, including one with bases loaded for three RBIs. Kylor Dossett also had a good game, hitting two for three with one double and an RBI.

Tiger pitcher Garrison Green pitched the final four innings and gave up four hits and one run.

The Tigers are 1-6 for the season and seeded eighth in the Jefferson County 4A Conference. They play a double-header Monday against Englewood and Alameda.

The boys 800-meter relay team took third place with the help of Ray Zakahi, who also took third in the long jump with a jump of 18 feet, 6.75 inches.

The SHS girls 400-meter relay team also took third and Brittany Adamson took second in the girls triple jump. The track team competes again at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday against Elizabeth.
