Andalusia’s swim team posted 58 personal best times at its first competitive meet in Opelika last Saturday.

“The team really impressed the coaches at the meet,” Andalusia swim coach Gavin Donaldson said. “I knew that there would be improvement, I just didn’t expect this much early in the season.”

Donaldson said the swimmers that exceeded state qualifying times were Stuart Baker in the 50-yard breaststroke; B.J. Donaldson in the 50-yard breaststroke and backstroke; Noah Rider in the 50-yard breaststroke and back stroke; and Mary Beth Baker in the 100-yard freestyle.

Additionally, Donaldson, Cali Fillmer and Baker broke the ASL (Andalusia Swim League) team records in the 50-yard breaststroke, freestyle, butterfly, backstroke and 100-yard freestyle events in Opelika.

Donaldson swam the 50-yard breaststroke in 31.06 seconds, and the 50-yard freestyle in 24.71 seconds; Fillmer swam the 50-yard butterfly in 32.84 seconds, and the 50-yard backstroke in 35.43 seconds; and Baker swam the 100-yard freestyle in 1 minute, 9.44 seconds.

The ASL’s next swim meet will be this Saturday in Troy at the Troy Recreation Center. Warm ups are at 9 a.m., and the meet will begin at 10 a.m.
