High school swimming: Skyridge’s Katelyn Andrist breaks 500-yard freestyle state record during Friday’s 6A state meet prelims

Skyridge senior Katelyn Andrist etched her name into the state record book on Friday afternoon.

In her heat of the 500-yard freestyle during Friday’s preliminary round of the 6A state swim meet at BYU, Andrist broke a state record that had stood since 2011. Her scintillating time of 4:55.28 — which was 21 seconds faster than the next qualifier — eclipsed the old state record of 4:56.96 set by Brighton’s Amanda Barrett over a decade ago.

At the Region 4 meet back on Jan. 29, Andrist set a new 6A record with a time of 5:00.96, but shaved five seconds off that performance on Friday. She’ll have a chance to go even lower on Saturday during the finals of the 6A state swim meet at BYU which begin at 9:45 a.m.

Lone Peak’s girls and American Fork’s boys are the defending state champs this weekend, and after both won their respective region meet two weeks ago both will be the favorite to repeat on Saturday.

Andrist’s swim wasn’t the only record breaker on Friday.

Mountain Ridge senior Anna Wekuluk set a new 6A state record in the 50-yard freestyle as she swam the opening leg in the 200 free relay in a time of 24.46. She owned the previous 6A record with a time of 24.59 which she swam back in December.

Here’s a list of the top eight qualifiers for Saturday’s finals in each event.
