The preliminary round of the 4A state swim meet was held at BYU on Friday night with teams and swimmers positioning themselves for Saturday’s finals, which get underway at 4:15 p.m.

Ridgeline’s girls and Sky View’s boys are the defending state champs. Ridgeline’s girls won the Region 11 title two weeks ago and are the favorite to repeat on Saturday, while Sky View’s boys figure to be in a battle with Region 11 champ Mountain Crest and Region 10 champ Crimson Cliffs for the state title.

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