At 10-and-under championships

His effort in the latter (45.05 seconds) was the only winning performance by an HRVST swimmer.

He and older brother Scott, 10, each posted five personal records during the "qualifiers only" event, which drew in 250 swimmers from Oregon and southwest Washington. They also combined for nine top-eight finishes in 10 swims.

Mariah Rawding, 9, Husum, was HRVST's lone girl in the competition. She had qualified in six events, and recorded top-eight finishes in three of them. Her highest finish was third place in the 50-meter butterfly.

"Overall, a very successful meet for the Osprey," noted HRVST Coach Shelly Rawding.
