MACON — Taylor Carnes has already racked up two new state championship qualifying times at the team’s first swim meet at Swim Macon Invitational last month.
Carnes, a veteran of the Georgia Swimming State Championships, added the 50- and 100-meter backstroke events to her repertoire in the 11-12 girls age group. Carnes also set three new Americus team records at the event, swimming the Blue Tide’s fastest 200 individual medley, 50 backstroke and 100 freestlye for her age group.
On Saturday, the Blue Tide took third place in the Kirt Myers Classic held at Georgia Southwestern’s Deriso Pool. A large contingent from Tifton won the team race with 659 points. Albany’s Flint River Rapids took second place (484), followed by the Blue Tide (455), Darton Aquadarts (189), Albany YMCA (26) and Moultrie Sharks (13).
Drew Wohrley was the only triple winner for Americus, taking the 25-, 50- and 100-yard freestyle events in the 11-12 boys age group.
