It's a little hard to believe Alex Parkinson and Brady Johnson are only juniors.
That means they are only going to improve, maximizing their chances at repeating as state champions in their respective events.
"I'm very happy about it," Johnson said."Last year I got third. I only dropped .01 from yesterday, but I'm super happy about it. Obviously going into senior year, 47.22 is going to be the goal, break that state record.""It kind of happened after yesterday," he said."I dropped a lot of time yesterday, and my main goal for the entire season was to beat Aiden Dunn's old time, the school record, and yesterday I beat that.

In the consolation race, Waubonsie Valley senior Ethan Huynh was seventh and junior Keian Lam was eighth .
"I wanted to go out decently fast, because you always want to go our faster, because it's easy time off your swim, and then maintain the pace throughout," Maier said.It was the end of the line for a lot of seniors Saturday, but they'll leave with lifetime memories. Take Benet's Jack Larson, who took ninth in the 100 freestyle in 46.24. Larson is off to Purdue next fall, so his game plan is to swim club until the end of the summer.
