Klem, Robb swim again
CANTON — West Branch freshman Jamyson Robb and Crestview junior Rebekah Klem are hoping appearances in the consolation finals at the girls state swimming meet will lead to bigger things next year.
Robb placed 11th and Klem 15th in the Division II girls 100-yard breaststroke at Branin Natatorium on Friday night.
Robb’s time was 1:06.62 and Klem’s was 1:08.63. Their times were just off of Thursday’s preliminaries.
The top eight from Thursday advanced to the championship finals while the next eight — including Robb and Klem — moved to the consolation finals.
This is Klem’s second state appearance after finishing 20th last year.
Baltimore Liberty Union freshman Logan Lawhorn — who came in as the top seed — won by nearly two seconds in 1:03.39. Bethel-Tate senior Gracyn McQueary, who was sixth last year, was the state runner-up in 1:05.12.
State notes
