Brookwood sweeps at GHSA swimming and diving meet; Johns Creek, Lassiter extend title reigns

Owen Cooper of North Forsyth also won multiple events, taking first place in the 50 and 100 freestyle.

Nicole Amike led the way for the Brookwood girls team, taking home first place in the 50 freestyle (23.18) and 100 freestyle (50.94) and swimming on the winning 200 freestyle relay team (1:35.57) with Sophie Hamilton, Hailey Dopson and Amelia Moore. Dopson also won the 100 backstroke with a time of 55.13.

Harrison’s Evelyn Jezerinac won the 100 breaststroke (1:01.95) and was part of first-place teams in the 200 medley relay and 400 freestyle relay.

Lassiter’s girls dominated in Class 5A, winning eight of the 11 swimming events, to win its sixth consecutive state championship and 11th overall. The Trojans finished with 411 points, well ahead of second-place Pope’s 325.

Finnly Jollands won the 50 freestyle (23.28) and 100 backstroke (54.23) and was part of winning relay teams in the 200 medley (1:43.40) and 400 freestyle (3:27.62). Kate Bradley won the 100 butterfly (54.98) and 500 freestyle (4:55.49) and joined Jollands in the relay victories. Rose Jones won the 100 freestyle (51.35) and competed on the 400 freestyle relay team, and Ashlyn Loftin won the 100 breaststroke (1:04.48) and swam on the 200 medley relay team.

Maria Beretta took third place in the 100 breaststroke and Maggie O’Shaughnessy finished fourth, joining Loftin to give Lassiter three of the top four finishers in the next-to-last event of the night. The Trojans closed out the championship with the victory in the 400 freestyle relay.

Johns Creek’s boys won just two events – the 200 medley relay and the 400 freestyle – but had at least one finisher in the top five in 10 of the 11 events, giving the Gladiators more than enough points to win their fifth consecutive state title and sixth in seven years.

Tianyu Cui, Jaxon Lou and Paul Wajnberg swam on both winning relay teams. They were joined by Bryce Debowsky in the 200 medley relay and Alexander Lou in the 400 freestyle relay. All five swimmers also finished in the top five in at least one individual event.

Luke Sandberg of Dunwoody won titles in the 200 freestyle (1:38.00) and 100 freestyle (44.33), and Isaiah Tucker of Kennesaw Mountain won in the 100 butterfly (47.52) and 100 backstroke (48.21)

Team champions in the lower classifications were decided on Thursday. Northview’s boys and Marist’s girls won championships in Class 4A, and Greater Atlanta Christian’s boys and Lovett’s girls took home titles in Class A-3A.
