BHS State Swim & Dive Place 4th Overall
Congratulations to the Battlefield Boys and Girls State Swim & Dive Team for placing 4th overall! We had a number of team records broken again, as well as some new State Records!!
We started the weekend early on Friday with the Dive Championships. Not only did we have our first boy diver at State, but we had two. Both Tatum Robinson and Elias Vanier scored 10th and 14th respectively. Those two divers set the tone for the swimmers on Saturday.
The swimmers had an outstanding meet. Both the boys and the girls finished in 4th place. Eric Liao, Henry Radzikowski (2), the Girls 200 Medley Relay, the Girls 400 Free Relay, and the boys 400 Free Relay all turned in All American Consideration times. Camille Spink turned in two Automatic All American times as well as breaking two 6A State records. Additionally, Camille tied for High Point honors with Torri Huske.
