Burlington-Edison and Sedro-Woolley offered little resistance as the Oak Harbor boys swim team swept by both schools in a nonleague double-dual meet at the Mount Vernon YMCA Tuesday afternoon.
The Wildcats defeated Burlington-Edison 116-45 and Sedro-Woolley 118-48. The pair of wins lifts Oak Harbor’s season dual meet record to 10-0.
Oak Harbor goes to Lake Stevens Thursday, Jan. 21, for a 3:15 meet. The Vikings should provide the biggest dual meet challenge so far for this season for the Wildcats. Oak Harbor and Marysville-Pilchuck sit atop the Wesco North standings with 5-0 records; Lake Stevens is next at 4-2. The Vikings finished 10th, one spot ahead of Oak Harbor, in the 33-team Kentridge Invitational earlier this season.
Oak Harbor and M-P will face off Jan. 29.
