Swimmers Place at GHSA State Meet

On Friday, February 7, over 2,300 State-qualified swimmers from over 110 schools descended on the aquatic center at Georgia Tech - home of the 1996 Summer Olympics - for the preliminaries for the 2019 GHSA State Swim Meet.   
 
Finishing in the Top Thirty in each event - a difficult, yet amazing accomplishment - enabled those swimmers to return on Saturday, February 8, for the State Finals.
 
This year, Pinecrest Academy brought 13 State qualifiers, who were entered in six relays (the maximum number of relays and the first time Pinecrest qualified all six relays) and four individual events.
 
Congratulations to our swimmers who placed at State:
 
Anthony Birozes - 7th in the 500 free
Mason Carter - 11th in the 50 free
Anthony Birozes - 11th in 100 free
Boys Relay - 8th in 200 free relay
Boys Relay - 7th in 400 free relay
 
New PA records were set in the 50 free, 400 free relay, and girls medley. What a fantastic showing at the State Swim Meet! Congratulations to our team and to Coach Jordan and her coaching team.
