A pair of Olympians led the Kenai Peninsula at the Northern Lights Conference swim meet Thursday, Friday and Saturday at Palmer High School.

Seward’s Lydia Jacoby and Homer’s Jillian Crooks both competed at the Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Both won two individual events to automatically qualify for the state swimming and diving meet Friday and Saturday at Dimond High School in Anchorage.

Jacoby, who won the gold medal in the 100 breaststroke, won the 200 individual medley in 2 minutes, 7.88 seconds, and the 100 breaststroke in 1:00.22 to qualify in those events.

Crooks is a swimmer from the Cayman Islands who competed in the 100 freestyle in the Summer Olympics. She won the 200 freestyle in 1:50.54 and the 100 freestyle in 51.13 to qualify in those events.

Crooks also led Homer’s 200 freestyle relay to victory and automatic state championship qualification. She teamed with Carly Nelson, McKenna Carlin and Cassidy Carroll to swim 1:41.73.

Nelson also earned an automatic qualification by winning the 100 butterfly in 57.59, a new record.

Kenai Central’s Koda Poulin picked up the victory for the 500 freestyle, finishing in 5:02.35, with Homer High School’s Hunter Frycoming in second at 5:09.04.

Colony won the girls title with 99 points, while Homer was runner-up at 53, Seward was fifth at 35 and Kenai and Soldotna tied for sixth at 27.

The boys title went to Kodiak with 99, while Colony was runner-up at 54. Kenai was fourth with 34, Homer was fifth with 25, Seward was sixth with 22 and Soldotna was seventh with 19.

In the individual events, except diving, the winner from each of four conferences automatically qualifies for state. Then the next 12 fastest times around the state make state. In diving, the top two from each conference qualify, with the next eight from around the state making it.

In relays, the conference winner qualifies, then the next four from around the state.

For Homer, the following swimmers will compete this weekend in Anchorage at the state championship: Hunter Fry, 500 freestyle; Skyler Rodriguez, 100 Butterfly; Crooks, 100 and 200 freestyle; Nelson, 100 Freestyle and 100 Butterfly; as well as Crooks, Nelson, Carlin, Cassidy Carroll and alternate Olivia Overdorf in the 200 freestyle relay.

“Coaches and swim fans are excited to see what this team will accomplish at the state meet this weekend,” Homer swim coach Dana Jaworski said in an email to Homer News.
