The Papermakers earned their watermarks Wednesday, at LaCamas Swim & Sport.
Kasey Calwell, Lucas Ulmer and John Utas won all four of their events to help the Camas boys beat Union, 155-130, Mountain View, 183-94, Evergreen, 211-36, and Heritage, 212-25.
The victory against Union secures the league championship for the Papermakers. Their second in row since moving up to the 4A classification.
“Some meets you win by a lot. And some meets you have to grind it out,” Calwell said. “Today was one of those grind it out days. We needed every point.”
Camas won nine events and Prairie took the other two. Swimmers from these two schools train and compete together as part of the North County program with Hockinson and Woodland. Evergreen, Heritage, Mountain View and Union are all in the East County program. Which makes this meet huge for bragging rights.
“Competition drives us better than anything else,” Ulmer said. “Union wanted this meet as much as we did. I’m glad our team pushed through and showed who we are as Camas.”
