Derrick had another dominant swim meet, maintaining a strong freestyle time that put him only six seconds shy of a state-qualifying mark and earned him 11th place along with 6 team points. He came out even stronger in the 100 breaststroke, setting a personal record by dropping 3 seconds. This impressive time placed Derrick 7th overall, adding another 12 points for Centre.

Derrick will compete again tomorrow at Wichita South High School.
