Three relay state records and an individual state record fell on Friday during the preliminaries of the 5A state swim meet at BYU,
Wasatch’s Jayden Hicken set a new 100-yard breaststroke overall boys state record, as he posted a superb time of 55.29, besting the state record set at last year’s state meet by Olympus’ Alexander Turney.
Turney along with two of his teammates, Jack Saber and Bridger Sink, also posted qualifying times under 57 seconds, which sets up the potential for an epic final during Saturday’s final day of competition starting at 4 p.m.
Olympus’ relay teams in the 200 medley relay, 200 and 400 freestyle relay each set new overall state records as well.
The team of Will de la Garza, Sink, Turney and Ian Conner posted a time of 1:34.08 in the 200 medley relay, eclipsing the old state record of 1:34.63
In the 200 free relay, the team of Evan VanBrocklin, Saber, Turney and Ethan Astle set a new state record in 1:24.07, besting the old top mark of 1:24.43.
In the final race of the meet in the 400 freestyle, the team of VanBrocklin, Conner, Astle and Matt Quackenbush swam a 3:08.65 to set a new record.
Olympus’ boys and girls teams are the defending state champs this weekend, but only the boys are the favorites to repeat.
Skyline’s girls team beat in Olympus in a tight region meet, and the state meet figures to be just as tight with several other schools in the mix.
Here’s a list of the top eight qualifiers for Saturday’s finals in each event.
