While snow piled up outside, 12 Oregon swimming teams heated up the inside of the Hood River Aquatic Center on Saturday with some impressive showings at the Hood River Invitational.

Summit High School took first place on the boys’ side, and finished in second place behind Redmond on the girls’ side.

Hood River Valley took seventh out of 11 teams on the boys’ side and tenth out of 12 teams on the girls’ side.

The Eagle boys were paced by first place finishes by Peter Debbaut in the 100-yard freestyle and 100-yard breaststroke, and a first place finish by the 200-yard freestyle relay team.

The girls had second place finishes by Erin Jones in the 200-yard freestyle and 500-yard freestyle to top their individual efforts.

Eagles coach Jane Nichols said the Invitational was a fun time for all the teams involved and was glad that no teams were stranded in Hood River because of the weather.

The Eagles have their final regular season meet on Thursday at Sandy.
