Davis

The Davis High boys and girls swim teams both won their respective Region 1 championships at the South Davis Rec Center Feb. 4. The girls squad had 422 points to Weber’s 393 while the boys defeated Syracuse by seven points.

“It was a thrilling meet,” said head coach Kit Barker. “The boys race was very, very close and it all came down to the last relay. We were ahead by just one point so whoever won the relay would win the meet. We were down one of our top swimmers [Jake Edwards who last week experienced a collapsed lung and had to be taken to the ER and is out for the rest of the season]. We actually were not supposed to win region without him, but the boys wanted to do it for him.”

Davis’ Garrett Barker, Dylan Grant, Ethan Frandsen and Sam Carlson swam relay legs in the 200 free relay event, winning by .02 seconds over Syracuse.
