High school swim and dive state championships move forward without spectators

Matt Goins

A pandemic-modified state high school swimming and diving championships event gets underway this week without spectators at various sites across the state.

The 2021 KHSAA State Swimming and Diving Championships began Thursday with the diving competition at Falling Springs in Versailles and continues with swimming competitions Saturday spread across three sites. Regions 1-3 will compete at Russell County High School, Regions 4-6 swim at Blairwood in Louisville and Regions 7-9, which includes many Lexington and Central Kentucky teams, swim at Union College in Barbourville.

Due to the COVID-19 protocols placed on event sites, no spectators are allowed to view the swimming competitions in person. The Kentucky High School Athletic Association is selling video streaming for the event on its NFHS Network site, khsaa.tv.

The top two finishers from each of the state’s nine regions qualified for the state championships during region events held over the last two weeks.

In the Region 8 competition held this month at Union College, Paul Laurence Dunbar won both the boys’ and girls’ team titles and claimed the combined boys and girls’ title for the 14th straight year.

Lafayette’s Lili Elayi, Megan Wedeking, Lou Elayi and Emma Lykins broke the region meet’s 200-yard freestyle relay record with a time of 1:37.60, besting a mark set by Tates Creek in 2017 by 0.16 seconds. In addition, Lafayette’s Wedeking broke the 100-yard backstroke meet record with a time of :56.88.
