Trojan Bears Qualify For States

Bruce Johnson has been coaching boys swimming for 45 years.

Never has he sent a boys relay team to a New York State Public High School Athletic Association championship meet.

He will this year.

The Frewsburg/Southwestern 200-yard freestyle relay team reached a state-qualifying time of 1:29.44 en route to winning Tuesday as the Trojan Bears beat Panama/Maple Grove/Chautauqua Lake 122-48 in Chautauqua-Cattaraugus Athletic Association boys swimming and diving Tuesday evening at Southwestern Elementary School.

Frewsburg/Southwestern kept Gannon Moore, Grady Moore, Miles Moore and Brady Lindstrom out of individual events so they could swim in all three relays.

It paid off.

The 200-yard freestyle relay time broke the school record set in 2014 and the pool record set in 2013.

In the 400-yard freestyle relay, the quartet finished in 3:24.72 to break the pool record set in 2014.

The foursome kicked the evening off with a winning time of 1:41.86 in the 200-yard medley relay to break the school record set last year and the pool record set in 2009.

Micah Barber was a double winner for Frewsburg/Southwestern, capturing the 50-yard freestyle in 24.22 seconds and the 100-yard breaststroke in 1:11.94.

Logan Hren also won two events: the 200-yard individual medley in 2:15.92 and the 500-yard freestyle in 5:05.84.
