LIMA — On Saturday, the YMCA age 12 and under Marlins took part in the YMCA Northwest Ohio Sectional 3 meet at the Lima Family YMCA.<\/p>\n

Age 13 and over swimmers do not have to swim in sectionals to qualify for champs. They are seeded according to their best personal times from the regular season.<\/p>\n

The Marlins qualified 10 swimmers in a combined 35 events. They will be seeded at the championships, according to times recorded at sectionals.<\/p>\n

Taking first place were Sofia Houg (1); Emma Pollock (3); and Katie McVaigh (1). Qualifying in all of their individual events were Houg (4), Pollock (5), Jamie Burenga (5), McVaigh (5), Ian Rex (3) and Daniel Miller (4).<\/p>\n

The Marlins also qualified one relay ream, the 9-10 boys\u2019 200 freestyle relay team (Rex, Jayden Welker, Sam Houg, Luke Miller).\u00a0 Sectional results are listed below as well as the qualifiers for championships.<\/p>\n
