Chiles’ Andrew Thrasher swims a leg of the 400 Freestyle Relay during Wednesday’s meet against Pensacola Washington at Morcom Aquatic Center.

Morcom Aquatic Center was a busy swimming facility Wednesday night with two dual meets going on simultaneously.

Lincoln’s boys and girls teams each out-swam rival Leon on one pool, while the other saw Chiles battle Pensacola Washington in a mid-season test.

For the Trojans, Dorian Taylor led the boys team with wins in the 100 and 200 freestyle events, while Tiffannee Moore paced the girls’ side with sprint wins in the 50 free and 100 free.

For Chiles, it split with Washington -- the boys picking up wins in all 12 events, while the girls dropped their first dual of the season.

Timberwolves juniors John Yambor-Maul (100 free, 200 free) and Wyatt Foote (100 breast, 200 IM) each won two events, while sophomore Ryland Sun (100 fly, 100 back) also won two.

Sophomore Kealyn Bowie (200 free, 500 free) and senior state champ Morgan Ayers (100 breast, 200 IM) shined with two wins each.

On the north side of town, Maclay easily won its tri-meet with Florida High and Community Christian, sweeping all events on both the boys’ and girls’ sides.

Brother-sister combo Rafi and Arianna Chambasian each won two events on their respective teams to lead the Marauders.

Lincoln’s Saige Kemeny breathes deeply while swimming the 100 breaststroke at Morcom Aquatic Center.
