On Friday and Saturday, swimmers from across District 3 will descend upon Cumberland Valley High School for the District 3 Swimming Championships. This is the last stop before States, set to be held at Bucknell two weeks from now. Among the swimmers attempting to qualify for the PIAA State Championship are several swimmers from Lebanon County. Below are the seedings for each Lebanon County swimmer, with their ranking and qualifying time next to their names.
Of all of the swimmers, some of the “must watch” athletes are from Lebanon County, but more specifically Lebanon High School. Spectators will be keeping a close eye on Carlos Hidalgo at he enters as the favorite in the both Freestyle events, the 50 yard and 100 yard. Last year, Hidalgo was a State medalist in the 50 and looks to add more medals to his collection after setting the Lancaster League Swim Championship Meet record this season. Not to be outdone is Hidalgo’s teammate Will Parker who has a qualifying time in the 100 yd Breaststroke that is almost a full second and a half faster than the next closest swimmer.
There is already one Lebanon County athlete heading to Bucknell for the State Championship meet, as the District 3 Diving Championships were previously held. Palmyra’s Elise Potter finished 5th in the 3A competition to earn her spot.
Best of luck to all of Lebanon County’s swimmers this weekend! We will do our best to keep you updated as to their progress. Check our Twitter @lebcosports1 or our main page for the latest updates from the District 3 Championships.
