After 22 years of teaching the Canyon View swim workforce, with a number of runner-up finishes, coach Kirt Brown lastly had his second within the pool.
Moments after it was introduced that the Canyon view girls and boys had gained 3A workforce titles on the Utah state meet, Brown and his fellow coaches joined the groups with a totally clothed leap into the pool.
“This feels really good,” Brown mentioned. “We really looked at the numbers for the boys and decided to let the kids swim what they wanted to. The strategy there is ‘what do you want to swim and what do you feel like you are a state championship swimmer in’, not what do I want you to swim for the team and it worked out well for the team.
The Canyon View boys racked up 353 points, ahead of Union (317) and Emery (272).
In the first event of the day the Canyon View foursome of Sean Cannon, Ryker Poulos, Ty Lauer and Jaxon Bleak won the 200-yard medley relay (1:42.01).
In the next boys race, Cannon, who tied the 3A meet record during Friday’s preliminaries, won a second gold medal in the 200-yard freestyle (1:42.01).
“It still felt good today,” Cannon mentioned. “I didn’t get much rest in between the medley relay and the 200 freestyle but I’ll take the title.
Cannon’s day was far from over.
He set a meet record in the 100-yard backstroke (:51.19) and teamed with Poulos, Lauer and Mason Carter to win the 400-yard freestyle relay.
“One of my biggest keys is getting plenty of sleep,” Cannon mentioned. “That and having good people and coaches around me helps our team do what we do.”
