We’re continuing to countdown our top 16 moments of 2016.
The next moment again comes from Stuart, Florida, where the FHSAA High School State Meets occurred, all four of them.
Another huge set of weekends for Florida swimmers and many state records fell during the high school meets. The outcome made for a very fast mythical meet as well as speed very deep in the standings.
State records fell from Tampa Plant Junior Morgan Tankersley in the 100 Freestyle 48.69, 200 Freestyle 1:44.31, and 500 Freestyle 4:37.60, Bolles Senior James Daugherty in the 100 Breaststroke 54.33, and Westminster Academy Junior Jessica Nava in the 100 Butterfly 53.45.
The overall individual High Point Mythical Champions were Isabel Ivey and Morgan Tankersley for the girls and Santi Corredor and Philippe Marcoux for the boys.
As for the coveted Florida Swim Network Team Mythical Champion, 2016 brought the same results as in 2015, Gainesville Buchholz for the girls and Jacksonville Bolles for the boys.
