Curtis overcame Bainbridge 122-64, and the Vikings finished with state-qualifying times in four events.

Overall, Curtis won every event except diving and the 500-yard freestyle.

Kiernan Liberman, a freshman, placed first in diving for Bainbridge. He finished with a score of 217.10.

Teammate Dylan Garthwaite, a junior, was second in diving with a score of 207.00.

Sam Chapman provided the other first for Bainbridge.

He won the 500-yard freestyle race by more than 8 seconds, and finished with a time of 5:01.28.

The Spartans will next face Roosevelt on the road. The team’s home opener is set for Friday, Dec. 16 against Garfield.
