By Jim Wieners
McCluer senior Drew Tallent and Hazelwood West seniors Spencer Campbell and Rami Hanin take home Swimming medals Nov. 3-4 at the St. Peters Rec-Plex.
Tallent finished fifth in Class One in the 100-yard Butterfly by swimming in 53.81 seconds. He qualified for the championship finals and a state medal by swimming the preliminaries in 54.74 seconds. Tallent missed another medal in the 100-yard Backstroke, finishing ninth-55.54 seconds after qualifying for the consolation finals in 57.48 seconds.
In Class Two Campbell took home two state medals in Freestyle events while Hanin took home one medal but fell short of making the finals in another.
Campbell finished sixth in the 100-yard Freestyle and eighth in the 50-yard Freestyle. In the 100 Freestyle Campbell swam in the Championship finals in 48.37 seconds after qualifying for a medal round by swimming the prelims in 48.25 seconds. In 50-yard Freestyle Campbell swam in the championship finals in 21.9 seconds after qualifying for a medal by swimming the prelims in 21.95 seconds.
Hanin took eighth in the 100-yard Backstroke by swimming in 55.49 seconds after qualifying for a medal by swimming the prelims in 55.03 seconds. Hanin finished the 200-yard Freestyle as one of two alternates and would have swam in the finals had one of the top 16 preliminary swimmers missed the finals.
Also in Class One Hazelwood East senior Jaylan Butler finished 15th in the 50 Freestyle by swimming in 23.04 seconds. Butler qualified for the consolation finals by swimming the prelims in 22.84 seconds.
CLASS THREE FOOTBALL — McCluer South-Berkeley, the top-ranked team in state, will stay at home with a 10-0 record Saturday, Nov. 11, when the Bulldogs play at 1 p.m. against 12-0 Blair Oaks, which is just south of Jefferson City. A MS-Berkeley win means the Bulldogs travel to West or Northwest Missouri Nov. 18 to play Kansas City-Center or Maryville for the right to play in the Class Three Championship Nov. 25 in Columbia at the University of Missouri’s Faurot Field.
MS-Berkeley defeated Suburban Central Conference American Division rival Jennings twice including a 42-0 District Five quarterfinal. The Bulldogs then defeated two of the three Gateway Athletic Conference North Division Tri-Champions, Orchard Farm 26-15 in the District Five Semifinal and St. Charles West 24-6 in the District Five Final.
