Swimming and diving: Carroll reigns supreme in Keller
By Justin Thomas, jthomas@starlocalnews.com
There were 24 final events Friday and Saturday at the UIL Class 5A Region II Swimming and Diving Championships at the Keller Natatorium.
Southlake Carroll medaled in 22 of them.
The Dragons and Lady Dragons also combined for gold in more than half (13) of the finals as they cruised to a pair of regional titles.
The Lady Dragons (585) more than doubled the total of their closest competitor Flower Mound (266.5), while the Dragons (563) nearly accomplished the same feat over the second-place Jaguars (287). Keller Central followed in third in girls and fourth in boys, while Mansfield took third in boys and fourth in girls.
Other local finishers on the girls side included Marcus (sixth, 155), Coppell (seventh, 127.5), Hebron (ninth, 102), Lewisville (13th, 41) and R.L. Turner (19th, 3).
The final boys standings saw Hebron in sixth (156), Coppell in ninth (107), Lewisville in 11th (76) and Marcus in 13th (58).
Bryce Klein (598.65) earned Outstanding Diving honors after defeating his closest competitor by more than 100 points. Carroll’s Nathaniel Hernandez finishing third (471.25).
Lauren Crown earned the same honor on the girls side (468.45), where teammate Larking Papa won bronze (415.50). Carroll’s ?? Hyorchk was also named Girls Diving Coach of the Year.
After coming up just short in the meet’s opening race (the girls 200-yard medley relay), Carroll responded to win gold in 4-of-5 relays to follow, including the boys 200 medley (Jonathan Roberts, John Remetta, Jake Tovey and Jacob Elieson; 1:33.30), the girls 200 free (Lindsay Schultz, Emily Zapinski, Ashlin Anderson and Emily Gibson; 1:36.46), the girls 400 free (Schultz, Zapinski, Alexa Baran and Rebecca Upton; 3:30.34) and the boys 400 free (Roberts, Remetta, Tovey and Austin Nguyenphu; 3:07.35),
Had there been a boys breaststroke relay, Carroll likely would have dominated that event as well as Nguyenphu (57.70), Remetta (58.06) and Austin Arkes (58.70) combined to sweep the medals in the 100.
Other boys winning gold were Roberts in the 200 free (1:37.79) and 500 free (4:23.62) and Klein in diving (598.65).
Girls winners were Zapinski in the 200 free (1:50.67), Gibson in the 50 free (23.66) and 100 butterfly (55.19), Crown in diving (468.45) and Schultz in the 100 free (51.56).
Coppell’s scoring was fueled by Hayden Henry, who edged out a pair of Dragons for gold in the 200 IM (1:51.45).
Hebron produced four individual medals with Joshua Clothier touching first in the boys 50 free (21.02) and 100 free (46.04) and Carolina Korst adding a silver in the 200 backstroke (56.43) and bronze in the 100 butterfly (57.12).
The Hawks 200 free relay team also picked up a bronze (1:26.73).
Flower Mound will be sending two to Austin after Alecia McGillivray picked up first in the girls 500 free (4:55.59) and Jenna Beaury achieved the same in the 100 breaststroke (1:04.64).
Kristen Whitaker also notched bronze for the Lady Jaguars in the girls 50 free (24.04), while Marcus’ Mackenzie Willborn settled for silver in girls diving (449.30).
Flower Mound’s relays helped procure its second-place team finishes as the Jags grabbed third in the 400 free and 200 medley.
