The Lindbergh Eagles swim team on Tuesday bounced back from a opening match loss to beat Bishop Blanchet by a score of 109-66.

Last season’s 2A champion Eagles dropped their opening meet to Steilacoom 115-70 on Dec. 9.

James Buchanan, Ben Pogue and Andrew Pogue all had big days for Lindbergh. All three were in the opening 200-yard medley relay, along with Derek Anderson, which outpaced the second place team – also from Lindbergh – by more than 17 seconds.

Buchanan also won the 200-yard individual medley and the 100-yard breaststroke. Ben Pogue finished first in the 100-yard butterfly and the 100-yard backstroke. Andrew Pogue placed first in the 50-yard freestyle and then finished second in the 100-yard freestyle.

The win takes Lindbergh to 1-1 on the year. The Eagles are home against Renton on Thursday.
