It all depends on the state in which the school competes, with roughly 130 state\/sectional\/divisional high school championship meets being held as early as October or as late as May of the following year.<\/p>\n<p>And when the COVID-19 pandemic hit in mid-March, some high schools had already completed their championships, others saw their season canceled&#8230;while still others were interrupted during the middle of their meet!<\/p>\n<p>Here are just a few examples of how the coronavirus affected high school swimming:<\/p>\n<p><strong>PENNSYLVANIA DISAPPOINTMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At the Pennsylvania Class 3A Championships, March 11- 12, senior <strong>Matt Brownstead<\/strong> of State College High School (State College, Pa.) clocked 19.24 in the 50 yard free to take down<strong> Caeleb Dressel<\/strong>\u2019s national high school record of 19.29 from 2013. Then he did something arguably even more impressive: On the Lions\u2019 200 free relay, which finished fourth, Brownstead split a ridiculous time of 18.67 seconds on the anchor leg.<\/p>\n<p>Prelims for the second day of the meet were held, but the evening finals were canceled due to coronavirus concerns, causing meet officials to designate the prelim results to be the \u201cfinal\u201d results.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Brownstead swam 43.29 in prelims\u2014which was at the time fourth in the nation\u2014but his opportunity to swim faster that night was taken away. Also quashed was his chance for being in the discussion for Swimming World\u2019s Male High School Swimmer of the Year, along with <strong>Wyatt Davis<\/strong> and <strong>Jake Mitchell<\/strong> of Carmel High School (Ind.) and possibly Ethan Hu and<strong> Luca Urlando<\/strong>, whose May championship meets were later canceled in California.<\/p>\n<p>How fast would he have been able to go in the 100 free? We\u2019ll never know, but Brownstead knows the significance of what he did in the 50. \u201cIt certainly is an outstanding feeling,\u201d Brownstead said after his record performance. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of mind-boggling to think that I\u2019m anywhere near what he (Dressel) goes because he\u2019s the best swimmer in the world. But it feels really good to be here with my team cheering for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brownstead, who committed to Virginia, defended his 3A state title in the event, last year setting the state record at 19.55. His reaction after looking at the board was one of elation, with a little surprise mixed in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had been thinking about that. It\u2019s a little bit of surprise, a little bit of excitement,\u201d he said. \u201cBut when I saw it, I was mostly excited because last year was kind of the same thing when I broke the state record, that this was what I want to go and I know I have the potential to do it, but I want to see if I can.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/which-swimming-world-high-school-swimmers-of-the-year-went-on-to-become-olympians\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Which high school swimmers of the year made the Olympics?<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 13\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p><strong>CALIFORNIA SEASON ERASED<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There were plenty of elite swimmers in California ready to make their mark on their final high school season. Among them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Luca Urlando<\/strong> of C.K. McClatchy High School in Sacramento had a spectacular high school season last year as a junior, breaking Dressel\u2019s national public school record in the 100 yard butterfly from 2013 by 1-hundredth of a second with a 45.88. That summer, he proceeded to win five gold medals at the World Junior Championships in Budapest, Hungary.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Claire Tuggle<\/strong> also has been one of the top teen phenoms in the sport, and she is just a sophomore. As a freshman in 2019, she swam the second fastest time nationally in the 500 free (4:41.60).Who knows what they\u2014and hundreds of other swimmers in California\u2014could have done if they just had a season?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>MISSED OPPORTUNITY IN MICHIGAN<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And it wasn\u2019t just the superstars who were affected. The coronavirus also affected countless teams that were just looking for an opportunity to see how they measured up with their competition.<\/p>\n<p>The West Ottawa boys\u2019 high school swim team from Holland, Mich. had won the Michigan High School Athletic Association Division 1 state title in 2019, edging team runner-up Detroit Catholic Central on the meet\u2019s final relay by 6-hundredths of a second to ensure the team victory.<\/p>\n<p>After losing all but two of its point scorers from a year ago, 2020 was supposed to be a rebuilding year. However, this year\u2019s psych sheet showed West Ottawa as the top-seeded team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Would they have been able to repeat as team champions? That question would remain unanswered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was very difficult to see our kids not have an opportunity to defend our state title,\u201d said West Ottawa coach <strong>Steve<\/strong> <strong>Bowyer<\/strong>. \u201cAfter graduating three division 1 swimmers, we had a new group of seniors hoping to make their mark for our program. It was going to be a very competitive meet with Detroit Catholic Central, Ann Arbor Pioneer and Hudsonville all bringing strong teams into the meet. We were looking forward to some great races.<\/p>\n<p>The hardest thing for our kids is not having closure to the season and always wondering what could have been.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Graduated were last year\u2019s swimmer of the meet <strong>Derek Maas<\/strong> (Alabama), <strong>Khadin Soto<\/strong> (Purdue), <strong>Sam Smith<\/strong> (Oakland) and <strong>Christian Rottier<\/strong> (Saginaw Valley). <strong>Jamahl Hogan<\/strong> was the only swimmer returning who made the top eight finals\u2014and he finished eighth in the 200 IM.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith that group we lost last year, you come into the next season wondering what your identity will be. Jamahl had really embraced that leadership role from the beginning of the season,\u201d Bowyer said. \u201cAs a coach, after you win a state championship and lose three Division 1 athletes, you almost reset your expectations. But for Jamahl and our senior group, they were determined not to let that happen\u2014they had the same mindset as we did last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt really showed with the improvement they had made, and that had a lot to do with his leadership and focus, wanting to make their mark just like the seniors did last year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Everything was prepared for them to repeat with a completely different group of scorers\u2014something extremely rare at a state meet, especially at the Division 1 level.<\/p>\n<p>But Michigan\u2019s high school swimming season was wiped out just days before.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unlike most other sports, high school swimming has multiple seasons.
