Numerous swimmers have filled the
ranks of the Lock Haven YMCA swim team over the past several decades and many
gave it their all to claim an individual state title. The last to step upon the top of the podium
was David Sheets from his win in the 100 yard backstroke in 1986 (Sheets plus
teammates Wayde Brookens, Kurt Herrmann and Bob Miller did win the 200 medley
relay at the same meet). The nearly
three decade drought was quenched when Simon Lins and Emma Butzler claimed
titles in their age group swims at Penn State’s McCoy Natatorium this past
weekend. Full results can be viewed
here.
