Fallon recorded only three wins as the Wave boys struggled against one of the best teams in the state. Truckee fielded swimmers in all events whereas Fallon didn’t race in three events in the boys division and four in the girls.
The 200-meter medley relay team of Kage Oyler, Zachary Koenig, Michael Liston and Brody Reynolds won the race in 2 minutes, 2.83 seconds. Koenig won the 200 individual medley in 2:10.08, and Reynolds won the 100 free in 1:02.44 followed by William McLean in second in 1:10.37.

Koenig finished second in the 100 backstroke in 1:04.02 followed by Oyler in 1:28.29. The team of Liston, McLean, Reynolds and Koenig finished second in the 400 relay in 4:08.26.
For the girls, Fallon won four contested events starting with the 200 medley relay team of Gracie Cosman, Miranda Reeder, Evelyn Lott and Katelen Helton finishing in 2:23.81. Helton, Cosman and Reeder finished first through third in the 50 free in 29.90, 30.04 and 34.41. The 200 relay team of Reeder, Lott, Cosman and Helton won the race in 2:07.97.

Truckee’s depth led to a big win over Fallon as the Wolverines entered multiple teams in each of the relay events and had as many as six swimmers compete in the individual events.
