LEOTI — The Golden Belt swim squad won its second straight meet on Saturday.
Golden Belt finished with 725.5 points, rallying in the afternoon session to beat Scott City, which finished with 689.
“I think that we swam very well,” Golden Belt head coach Steve Beaumont said. “We picked up a lot of points in the afternoon and ended up in first place.”
Justin Kuhlman broke the pool record in the 15-and-over 100-meter backstroke, touching in at one minute, 8.83 seconds. The previous record set by Kiefer McCulley in 2006 was 1:13.56.
Kade Cook finished second in the event, and Tristan Yount finished third.
“Overall, I thought our high school boys swam very well,” Beaumont said. “They have continued to put up a lot of points for us.”
Amy To, Kyndall Blessing, Laura Daniel and McKenna Cape broke a pool record in the eight-and-under 100 freestyle relay. They finished with a time of 1:42.65, beating the 2001 record of 1:45.76.
