Record day for Robb

AKRON — West Branch junior Jamyson Robb is on to the district swim meet.

Robb broke the Div. II sectional 100-yard backstroke record in 1:05.17 and won the 200 individual medley in 2:13.63 on Friday at the sectional meet at the University of Akron’s Ocasek Natatorium.

The first two finishers in each event earned automatic berths for the Div. II district meet on Friday at Cleveland State’s Busby Natatorium. The rest of the 26 district spots will be determined by at-large bids.

A few other area swimmers will almost certainly be in the mix in district round despite not being automatic qualifiers.

Columbiana junior Jocelyn Buchheit was fifth in the 200 freestyle (2:09.6) and eighth in the 100 breaststroke (1:13.49).

West Branch sophomore Jordan Anderson was seventh in the 200 freestyle (2:10.62) and eighth in the backstroke (1:07.38)

Crestview sophomore Rachel Klem was fourth in the 200 IM (2:21.66) and fourth in the 100 breaststroke (1:09.43).

Div. II Steubenville

STEUBENVILLE — Beaver Local and East Liverpool’s boys and girls swim teams produced no automatic district qualifiers on Saturday at the Div. II sectional meet at Steubenville High School’s Natatorium.

Only the winning individual or relay team of each event secured an automatic bid to the district swim meet set for Feb. 14 at Ohio State University’s Bill and Mar McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion.

A total of 27-at large district qualifiers will be determined through top times in the Columbus Academy, Steubenville and Southeast sectionals.
