Swimming State Championships Recap

Area swimmers competed this past week at OHSAA State Swim and Dive Competing held at Canton McKinley's C.T Branin Natatorium. The Ohio High School State Swim meet is one of the fastest single high school meets in the country. It is also one of the hardest meets to qualify for. While other states use qualification times, Ohio follows an elimination-style tournament. New this year, OHSAA expanded the number of qualifiers from 24 to 32 in Individual events, while still only accepting 24 relay teams. You must finish in the top 16 to earn All Ohio.

Findlay's Claire Kemmere qualified for the State Championship in the 200 Free, district runner-up in the 500 Free. Delaney Spradlin set a New School Record in the 100 B. Stroke.
