Loveless (21.78), McCabe (22.56), McCray (22.26), and Barker (20.47) also combined in 1:27.07 to set a new Class 1A\/2A record in the 4×50 free relay, eclipsing the previous mark of 1:27.17 set by Carrboro in 2012. Barker later added an individual win in the 100 back with a time of 49.03.<\/p>\n

Jay Baker\u00a0<\/strong>of Durham School of the Arts posted an impressive 13-second victory in the 500 freestyle, turning in a time of 4:29.96 for the gold medal while Bradford Prep’s Reid Miller\u00a0<\/strong>won the 50 free in 20.98. Lake Norman Charter’s Harrison Powe\u00a0<\/strong>cruised to first in the 200 free, stopping the clock in 1:40.96 to drop nearly five seconds off his prelims time.<\/p>\n

Community School of Davidson\u2019s Campbell Worsley\u00a0<\/strong>dove to the top spot on the 1-meter board, posting a final score of 490.90.
