Dragons’ Keller lowers time at State Championships
One Clinton High School swimmer competed in the Tennessee Interscholastic Swimming Championships last weekend in Nashville.
Ryan Keller qualified for the 500-yard freestyle at the state meet, which was contested Friday and Saturday.
Keller earned his state berth at the Knoxville Interscholastic Championships, held at the University of Tennessee’s Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquatics Center.
Swimming in the second heat of the 500 freestyle finals, Keller posted a time of 5 minutes, 16.30 seconds, shaving nearly a full second off his previous best.
“Ryan swam really well and he was really consistent,” Clinton assistant coach Laura Knott said. “He did well and had a great experience.
“I’m glad he got the opportunity to compete, and we’re really looking forward to next year.”
