Kenai’s Price breaks another school record at SoHi Invite

Price won the 100-yard freestyle in 54.21 seconds to break the 1990 record of 54.26, set by Mendy Benson.

Price has four school records. Last season, she was part of a team that broke the 400 freestyle relay record.

Price also won the 50 freestyle in 25.72 seconds to help Kenai place third in the meet. Colony won with 90 points, while Palmer had 77.

The Colony boys won with 130 points, while Kenai was next with 70 and Soldotna was third with 37.

In Friday’s SoHi Pentathlon, Colony swept the team titles. The girls had 228 to the 197.5 of runner-up Kodiak, while the boys had 508 to the 93 of runner-up Kenai Central.

In the Pentathlon, each swimmer does the 100 individual medley, the 50 butterfly, the 50 backstroke, the 50 breaststroke and the 50 freestyle. The five events are totaled to determine the winner.

Colony’s Iver Gates won at 2:40.57, winning the 100 IM in 57.33.
