The Thanksgiving Invitational swimming meet at South Davis Recreation Center is fast becoming one of the top early meets in the Utah prep season.
With several top teams from Salt Lake City and southern Utah in the pool, Top of Utah teams still held their own in the non-scoring meet.
Individual winners on the boys side included Davis' Sam Bryson in the 50 freestyle and teammate Zach Santella in the 100 butterfly. Weber's Chandler Ward won the 100 freestyle, and Viewmont's Josh Meyers was tops in the 500 freestyle.
On the girls side, Mountain Crest's Hailey Pabst won the 200 freestyle and keyed the Mustangs' win in the 200 freestyle relay.
