For the fourth time in five years, the Bishop Kenny High School boys’ swim team has brought home the state championship.
The boys competed in the Florida High School Athletic Association Class 2A State Championship on Nov. 7 in Ocala, edging out Belen Jesuit and Mater Lakes Academy with an accumulated 244.5 points to take the victory.
Senior Carter Wright earned two individual victories in the 50 freestyle and 100 backstroke. Wright is the most decorated swimmer in Bishop Kenny history, with five individual state titles, six relay titles and three team championships. At Bishop Kenny’s signing ceremony last month, he committed to the University of Alabama to continue his academic and athletic careers.
“It takes an incredible amount of teamwork and discipline to reach these heights,” said Head Coach Laurel Valley. “I’m so proud of what our athletes have accomplished together.”
