For the first time in years, the Mercer Island boys swimming team left Mary Wayte Pool after the SeaKing District meet not as the No. 1 team, but as the second place finishers.

Lakeside won the meet with 294 points, while Mercer Island finished second with 226. Bainbridge finished third with 208 points.

Lakeside won six individual events, while the Islanders won just one, the 200 freestyle relay, with a time of 1:30.66. Bainbridge had two event wins, while Liberty, which finished fourth as a team, won three individual titles.

Mercer Island will defend their state title this weekend during the 3A state championships at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way.

The preliminaries begin on Friday, Feb. 17 at 9:45 a.m., with the finals on Saturday, Feb. 18 beginning at 9:30 a.m.

A full list of results will be posted once it becomes available.
