SUGAR LAND — Karley Thompson led a strong contingent of Nederland swimmers in the 5A Region VI swim meet Saturday and won two events.

Thompson won the 100-yard backstroke in 57.78 seconds and the 200-yard individual medley in 2 minutes, 12.94 seconds. She will compete in the 5A state championships, Feb. 19-20 at the Texas Swim Center in Austin.

Also from Nederland, junior Sal Contreras took second place in the 200-yard freestyle in 1:48.59 and fourth in the 100 free in 49.82; junior Klara Morfeld was sixth in the 100 backstroke in 1:03.91; the boys 200-yard freestyle relay team was sixth in 1:45.01 and the 200-yard medley group was sixth in 2:08.07. The boys relay teams include senior Brandon Thomas, juniors Caleb Abshire, Grayson Fanette and Contreras, and freshman Damian Perez. The girls relay teams are seniors Johnna Landrum and Melanie Morton, Morfeld, Thompson and freshman Isis Petersell.

“I could not have been any prouder of these 10 swimmers,” Nederland coach Kathryn Davis said. “All of our swimmers exited the pool after their races with all of their energy exhausted. Exhausted to the extent of a couple needing my assistant with nearly blacking out. These swimmers have worked hard for this and their dedication showed here today. What else can a coach ask for? They gave it their all today, every single one of them. What can I say? I’m incredibly proud of my kids.”
