The Bluffton Sardines summer swim team handily swept visiting teams Westside and Ada in a Western Ohio Aquatic League makeup tri-meet Tuesday evening, June 20.
Ada at Bluffton was postponed twice last week due to unseasonably cool and rainy conditions, and thus the meet was combined into a three-team competition.
Bluffton won the combined team event convincingly, sweeping the boys and girls dual meets. Westside finished second, and Ada came in third.
