PROVO, Utah, February 13. AS expected, Skyline High's boys and girls took commanding leads at the Class 5-A state swimming meet Friday at Brigham Young's pool. <\/p>\n
The Skyline girls piled up 215 points on the first day to easily outdistance second-place Kearns (147). <\/p>\n
Kearns is also in second in the boys meet, trailing Skyline 209-111. The meet ends today. <\/p>\n
"We were just incredible, we were swimming out of our heads tonight," said Skyline coach Rod Horton. <\/p>\n
Brooks Felton broke the 5-A record in the 200-yard freestyle in 1
\nminute, 42.49 seconds, just missing the state record by fourth-tenths of a second. <\/p>\n
George Evans won the 50 free for the Eagles, while Skyline's 200 medley relay team of Felton, Madison Loyala, Drew Bowles and Jake Ryland also prevailed. <\/p>\n
Adrienne Coburn won the girls 200 individual medley by almost five seconds as the Eagles appeared well on their way to sweeping both meets. <\/p>\n
Skyline has won the last three 5-A boys titles and the last two girls crowns, supplanting Brighton as the state's premier swimming program. Horton credited his assistant, Matt Vicario, in helping build the Eagles' tradition. <\/p>\n
"I think our kids know that Skyline has a tradition and at state is where we swim well," Horton said. <\/p>\n
Hunter had a strong showing from John Harvey, who set a school record in the boys 200 IM. <\/p>\n
"John worked so hard to come back from his injury — he could've been paralyzed," said Hunter coach Steve Marsing, noting how Harvey fractured his vertebrae while diving in a pool when he was a freshman. " He just pays attention to details and is really a coach's dream." <\/p>\n
In other individual efforts, Kearns' Jennifer Fredsall won the 50 free and Kearns' Natalie Edge won the 200 free. <\/p>\n
