Lewis-Palmer sets meet points record at Metros
At Rampart: Lewis-Palmer scored a meet record for points, 538, on the way to its third straight Metro League championship. "Our first goal was to get additional state-qualification times and our second goal was to give swimmers an opportunity to score points for our team if they had shown the ability to do so," coach Alan Arata said. "We also wanted to give our seniors a chance to win events and highlight how good they are and we wanted to give guys as much rest as we could, given that the state meet starts Thursday." The Rangers won two relays while senior Josh Day won the 200 individual medley and 100 freestyle en route to Metro League Swimmer of the Year honors.
Senior Matthew Grooms won the 100 butterfly and freshman Collin Babcock the 100 breaststroke. Other winners included Pat Scally of Cheyenne Mountain in the 200 and 500 freestyles, Mitchell's Dane Van Arkel in the 50 freestyle and Patrick Cardillo of Fountain-Fort Carson in the 100 backstroke.
