Derrick had an outstanding meet for the boys’ swim team, recording personal records in two events. He dropped 2 seconds in the 50 Freestyle to place 10th, finishing less than one second shy of state consideration. In the breaststroke, Derrick lowered his time by 2.5 seconds to earn 5th place. His efforts added up to 16 valuable team points.
