Local Swimmers Shine at District Meet

Two local swimmers, Emily Holloway and Ethan Myers, earned individual titles at the District Swim Meet held last weekend. Holloway won the 50-yard freestyle and the 100-yard backstroke, while Myers won the 200-yard individual medley.

Holloway's Impressive Performance

Holloway, a junior at Liberty High School, had a standout performance at the meet. She swam the 50-yard freestyle in 24.56 seconds, edging out her nearest competitor by 0.3 seconds. She also won the 100-yard backstroke in 58.23 seconds, setting a new personal best.

Myers's Dominance in the IM

Myers, a senior at Crestwood High School, dominated the 200-yard individual medley. He swam the event in 1:59.45, nearly two seconds ahead of the second-place finisher. Myers's victory helped Crestwood win the team championship for the third year in a row.

Other Notable Performances

In addition to Holloway and Myers, several other local swimmers had strong performances at the meet. Sarah Jones of Liberty High School finished third in the 100-yard butterfly, while Alex Smith of Crestwood High School placed fourth in the 50-yard freestyle.

Implications for State Meet

The strong performances by Holloway and Myers at the District Meet are a good sign for their chances at the upcoming State Meet. Holloway is currently ranked among the top five swimmers in the state in both the 50-yard freestyle and the 100-yard backstroke. Myers is ranked among the top ten in the state in the 200-yard individual medley.

The State Meet will be held next month, and Holloway and Myers will be among the favorites to medal. Their success at the District Meet is a testament to their hard work and dedication, and it is a great sign for the future of swimming in the local area.
