Like the 4A state champion, Myers Park, the Lake Norman girls won the 200 medley and 400 freestyle relay titles but no individual titles as they rolled to their title. While the team didn’t earn any individual wins, they still got onto multiple podiums and had a strong showing in the championship finals. For example, the team had three swimmers in the 200 IM final, the most of any school.
Madisyn Upton won the 200 IM, setting a lifetime best of 2:08.38. It was quite a state championship debut for the freshman, as she added a second individual win in the 100 butterfly. Bowen clocked 56.63 to win by exactly a second.
Lily Hermans joined Upton in winning two events. She swept the sprint freestyle events at the 3A Western Regional Championships and did the same last weekend, clocking lifetime bests of 23.85/51.97. For her efforts, she was named Most Outstanding Female Swimmer of the Meet.
Abbey Cronin dominated the 100 backstroke. She swam 57.72 for the win, and was the only swimmer in the field to break 1:00 in the championship final.
