PHOENIX, Arizona, July 11. IN August, Swimming World Magazine names its 14th and 15th Male and Female High School Swimmers of the Year.
The award first came into being in 1996 when our publication began naming an overall high school swimmer of the year with Shadow Mountain's Misty Hyman winning the award. The following year, Swimming World decided to name both a male (Covington Catholic's Nate Dusing) and female (Hyman) winner and has done so each year.
