Skaneateles boys swimmers Reed Swartz and Eric Leverich both would take their turns in the pool during Friday’s opening round of the New York State Public High School Athletic Association championship meet at the Nassau Aquatic Center on Long Island.
Swartz, the Section III champion in the 100-yard backstroke, could not quite make it to the top 24 in the state event, settling for 38th place in 55.04 seconds, just behind sectional teammates Dan Burke (Baldwinsville, 54.52) and Jack Robinson (Fayetteville-Manlius, 54.54).
However, Swartz fared a bit better in the 200-yard individual medley, rising to 33rd place in 2:01.65, just missing out on advancement by one second. Meanwhile, Leverich, in the 200-yard freestyle, recorded a time of 1:49.53 to take 39th place.
