High School State Swim Finals

This weekend was the High School State Swim Finals at Brigham Young University. It was an exciting meet for Seth! Although he was only swimming in one event, the Men's 100 Yrd. Backstroke, it was Seth's goal to get a personal best time and a qualifying time for WESTERN REGION SHORT COURSE SECTION CHAMPIONSHIP in Federal Way, Washington in March. His previous best time was a 56.83. He needed at least a 55.08 to qualify for Sectionals. So, going into the race, Seth was seeded 9th Place, just missing getting into the final heat of the Men's Backstroke. Here's the video of his big race. Seth is in Lane #4. You'll see he won handily, and take a look at the time on the board!

The end of the clip is the medals platform. We didn't get the part where Seth got up on the platform. One of his best friends, McKay King, took first place, setting a new High School State record. I like seeing them both on the platform, McKay rubbing Seth's mohawk and Seth's signature "Peck Dance!" The Men's team took 2nd in the State!
Way to go CAVEMEN!
