Pasco senior James Denney won two individual swimming events and was a member of two winning relay teams as the Pirates swept Wesley Chapel on Wednesday afternoon.

The boys team won 94-56 while the girls prevailed 122-37.

Denney took first in the 200-yard freestyle 2:06 and 500 free (6:42.28). Swimming the third leg, he also won in the 200 free relay and 400 free relay.

"He's really improving," Pasco coach Elena Rodgers said. "We're looking forward to him doing well at districts."

On the girls side, the Pirates got strong efforts from the members of the 200 medley relay and 200 free relay, both of which won.
