The Shorecrest 400-yard freestyle relay team of Grant Heisey, Russell Groves, Axel Wickstrom and Carter Osborne finished seventh in the State 3A swimming championships in Federal Way Saturday.

The Scots had a time of 3:19.92 behind Mercer Island’s winning time of 3:09.57, a performance that gives Mercer Island all-American status.

In addition, Heisey placed fourth in the 500-yard freestyle and Osborne was sixth in the 200.

Heisey’s time of 4:38.9 came behind the winning time of 4:32.65 by a swimmer from Lakeside of Seattle who was fast enough for all-American consideration.

Shorecrest finished seventh in team scoring with Shorewood 14th, a week after Shorewood won the Northwest District 3A championship with Shorecrest second and about a month after Shorewood defeated Shorecrest in a dual meet.
