Shorewood swimmers, divers win two State 3A championships, finish third in team scoring, Shorecrest 30th

Shorewood swimmer Mackey Hopen and diver Eddie Young both won State championships Saturday to lead the Thunderbirds to third place in the 3A team standings.

Hopen won the 50-yard freestyle, finished second in the 100 breaststroke and swam on second-place teams in the 200 medley relay and the 200 freestyle relay.

Young, who won the 4A 1-meter diving championship a year ago before Shorewood changed classifications, defeated defending 3A champion Troy Neklason of Highline with two strong dives to finish the competition.

Our NewsPartner, The Seattle Times, said this, “Young, who trailed by 4.6 points going into the final three dives, topped Neklason 439.6 to 434.6. Saturday. Young nailed his final two dives, including an inward, one-and-a-half somersault on his final dive for 50.4 points. He needed 45.4 points to tie Neklason.”

Thor Stenfjord of Shorewood finished second in the 500 freestyle and third in the 200 individual medley, and swam with Hopen, Andrew Garrison and Colin Bell on the second place 200 medley relay team and 200 freestyle relay team.

Hopen’s time in the 50 freestyle and Stenfjord’s in the 500 freestyle qualify them for all-American consideration.

Shorecrest finished 30th in the team standings.
