Lambert scored 433 points to win the girls\u2019 meet, while Brookwood (355) and Lassiter (326.5) rounded out the top three.<\/p>\n<p>Walton kicked off the meet with a win in the boys\u2019 200 medley relay as the foursome of Nicholas Froemming, Thaddius Macon, David Dingess and Jacob Williams posted a 1:33.06, just missing Chattahoochee\u2019s state record of 1:32.78 from last year. Alpharetta\u2019s Patrick Cusick, Derek Wu, Jonathan Vater and Jay Wellman, the top seeded team after prelims, settled for second in 1:34.01, while Johns Creek\u2019s Michael Taylor, Daniel Cooney, Colton Williamson and Ben Radak placed third in 1:35.36.<\/p>\n<p>In the girls\u2019 200 medley relay, Lambert and Brookwood staged a thrilling battle for the state title as the two teams finished within two tenths of each other. Thanks to a 23.05 anchor split by Katherine Aikins, Lambert\u2019s foursome of Caroline Aikins, Ashley Mallon, Jane Johnson and Katherine Aikins got to the wall first in 1:44.38. Brookwood\u2019s Maddy Cohen, Erin Scott, Devan Sweeney and Leila Taylor took second in 1:44.57, well ahead of Pope\u2019s Sarah Sorenson, Emma Murray, Kirby Prestel and Britheny Joassaint (1:47.13).<\/p>\n<p>Northview senior Knox Auerbach challenged the state record in the boys\u2019 200 free final but came up just short of Matias Koski\u2019s 2012 record (1:36.15) with a final time of 1:37.00. Collins Hill\u2019s Cody Bekemeyer also dipped under 1:40, taking second in 1:39.19. Reed Wynn of Peachtree Ridge rounded out the top three in 1:41.34.<\/p>\n<p>Woodstock\u2019s Lauren Case chopped almost five seconds off her prelim performance to win the girls\u2019 200 free by a solid margin in 1:45.96. She just missed Nicole Stafford\u2019s 2013 state record of 1:45.29, but will have another shot at the record next season. Peachtree Ridge\u2019s Haley McInerny also dropped a chunk from prelims, taking second in 1:48.87. Walton\u2019s Emma Cole finished right behind in third with a 1:49.02.<\/p>\n<p>The boys\u2019 200 IM final turned out to be the race of the meet, as Brookwood\u2019s Alex Taylor and Alpharetta\u2019s Patrick Cusick swam stroke-for-stroke for most of the race before hitting the wall in matching 1:48.85s. Collins Hill\u2019s Taylor Delk stayed in the hunt for the first 100 before fading to third with a 1:50.67.<\/p>\n<p>Brookwood\u2019s Devan Sweeney moved up three spots from fourth to first in the girls\u2019 200 IM final, dropping three and a half seconds from her prelim performance to grab the state title in 2:02.38. Second seed Kelsey Prince of Northview equaled her prelim time and place with a 2:03.36 for second, while top seed Evie Bragg of Johns Creek slipped to third with a 2:03.98.<\/p>\n<p>After qualifying first and second in the boys\u2019 50 free in prelims, Marietta\u2019s Tyler Harper and Parkview\u2019s Dalton Vaux flip-flopped places in finals, with Harper taking first in 20.62 and Vaux placing second in 20.91. Brookwood\u2019s Alex Taylor held onto his third place spot with a 21.17 in finals.<\/p>\n<p>Johns Creek freshman Tatum Smith got her high school state meet career off to a great start with her first individual state title in the 50 free. Smith stopped the clock in 23.38 to knock off Lambert\u2019s Katherine Aikins (23.58) and Parkview\u2019s Morgan Fleming (23.60), who had qualified first and second in prelims.<\/p>\n<p>Colquitt County freshman Parker Hardigree was the class of the field in the boys\u2019 1-meter diving final as he posted 521.00 points to finish almost 80 points ahead of second place finisher Griffin Ramsey of Norcross (442.70). Nick Goh of Pope rounded out the top three with 431.95 points.<\/p>\n<p>On the girls\u2019 side, Madison DuVall of Etowah brought home the state title in her final high school state meet with 433.20 points. Walton\u2019s Peri Charapich (404.95) edged Colquitt County\u2019s Kelliann Howell (404.85) for second.<\/p>\n<p>In the boys\u2019 100 fly final, seven swimmers broke 50 in an exciting final that came down to the last few yards. Walton\u2019s David Dingess just out-touched Lambert\u2019s Jared Chulavatr for the win, 49.19 to 49.23. Hillgrove\u2019s Cullen Fields held on for third with a 49.36.<\/p>\n<p>Woodstock\u2019s Lauren Case went two-for-two in her individual events, adding a victory in the 100 fly to her win in the 200 free earlier. Case stopped the clock in 53.13, just outside Kathleen Hersey\u2019s 2008 state record of 52.44. Peachtree Ridge\u2019s Haley McInerny challenged her the whole way and wound up less than half a second behind in 53.56. Lambert\u2019s Jane Johnson swam a 54.99 to finish third.<\/p>\n<p>Northview\u2019s Knox Auerbach then claimed his second state title of the day in the boys\u2019 100 free, stopping the clock at 44.31 to finish comfortably ahead of Peachtree Ridge\u2019s Reed Wynn (45.69) and Marietta\u2019s Tyler Harper (45.70).<\/p>\n<p>Brookwood\u2019s Maddy Cohen dominated the girls\u2019 100 free final, flipping half a second ahead at the 50 and extending her lead to nearly a second with a 50.93. Parkview\u2019s Morgan Fleming swam a 51.82 to take second, just ahead of Brookwood\u2019s Megan Hansen (51.92).<\/p>\n<p>Collins Hill\u2019s Cody Bekemeyer blew away the field in the boys\u2019 500 free final, posting a 4:23.28 to win by nearly 11 seconds. Johns Creek\u2019s Colton Williamson finished second in 4:34.15, followed by North Gwinnett\u2019s Tyler Mazurek in 4:36.12.<\/p>\n<p>Brookwood\u2019s Anna Jahns topped the girls\u2019 500 free final in 4:52.88, leading a group of four swimmers under the five-minute barrier. Walton\u2019s Emma Cole picked up another top three finish with her 4:55.07 for second, while South Forsyth\u2019s Bayley Frierson placed third in 4:56.37.<\/p>\n<p>The first and only state record of the day went down in the boys\u2019 200 free relay final, as Northview\u2019s Knox Auerbach, Sam Bray, Joonas Koski and Cade Auerbach posted a 1:24.32 to wipe out Wesleyan\u2019s 2011 record of 1:24.85. Northview had just missed the record in prelims with a 1:24.92. Parkview nearly broke the old record as well as Jacob Finco, Greg Paulukaitis, Sam Kim and Dalton Vaux touched second in 1:24.88. Walton rounded out the top three with Thaddius Macon, Nicholas Froemming, Tyler Yuen and Stephen Lane touching in 1:25.93.<\/p>\n<p>Lambert claimed its second relay title of the day in the girls\u2019 200 free relay, with Caroline Aikins, Lilia Smith, Emma Fish and Katherine Aikins topping the event in 1:35.90. Lassiter finished in the top three for the first time in the meet as Lexi Glunn, Allison Nastasi, Sarah Nastasi and Lauren O\u2019Malley placed second in 1:36.48. Walton\u2019s Gabbie Gauntt, Johanna Keeline, Melissa Cox and Evan Arsenault combined for a 1:37.60 to finish third.<\/p>\n<p>Johns Creek\u2019s Michael Taylor surged past the championship heat in the boys\u2019 100 back final, posting the fastest second 50 by half a second to win in 48.66. Alpharetta\u2019s Patrick Cusick flipped first at the 50 but couldn\u2019t hold on as he touched second in 49.04. Blake Atmore of South Forsyth also broke 50, taking third in 49.71.<\/p>\n<p>A trio of swimmers broke 56 in the girls\u2019 100 back final, with Mill Creek\u2019s Katherine Parker leading the way in 55.62. Brookwood teammates Devan Sweeney and Maddy Cohen also made the podium, finishing in times of 55.90 and 55.98, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>In the boys\u2019 100 breast final, Lambert\u2019s Jared Chulavatr and Duluth\u2019s Joseph Portillo turned at matching 26.65s at the halfway point before Chulavatr pulled ahead to win, 56.41 to 56.95. Jonathan Yang gave Duluth a 2-3 finish in the event as he touched third in 57.68.<\/p>\n<p>Pope senior Emma Murray finished her high school career in style with a state title in the girls\u2019 100 breast. Murray stopped the clock at 1:03.11 to finish comfortably ahead of Brookwood\u2019s Erin Scott (1:04.37) and West Forsyth\u2019s Sheridan Schreiber (1:04.65).<\/p>\n<p>For the second time in the meet, one of the boys\u2019 events ended in a tie for the state title. This time, Northview\u2019s 200 free relay state record-setting quartet of Knox Auerbach, Sam Bray, Joonas Koski and Cade Auerbach faced off against Alpharetta\u2019s Jonathan Vater, Derek Wu, Patrick Cusick and Jay Wellman in the final event of the meet, the 400 free relay. Northview led the entire race before Wellman threw down a 45.34 anchor split to pull even, as both teams finished in 3:04.33. Both schools just missed Chattahoochee\u2019s state record of 3:04.08 from last year. Brookwood\u2019s Andrew Huenniger, Jacob Rees, Hans Kind and Alex Taylor placed third in 3:08.62.<\/p>\n<p>Lambert wrapped up the girls\u2019 team title with a win in the 400 free relay (3:27.55). Walton (3:29.89) and Lassiter (3:30.54) finished second and third.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/results\/georgia-6a-swimming-and-diving-championships\/high-school\/2015\/February\/5\">Georgia 6A Swimming and Diving Championships &#8211; Results<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.niscaonline.org\/AwardPrograms\/AASwimming.aspx\">Submit Your All-America Application<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Agon is the proud sponsor of all high school coverage (recruiting, results, state championships, etc.) on SwimmingWorld.com.
