Calwell, a tall sophomore, who also swims for Columbia River Swim Team, was ecstatic about his performance. He earned state cuts in three events: the 500m free, 100m free and the 100m breaststroke. For the 500m free he clocked in at 4:57.60; his time for the 100m free, which was his portion of a relay, was 49.98; and for the 100m breaststroke, he timed in at 1:03.27. Pretty amazing.

“I felt really good about the times,” said Calwell. “I’ve never earned three state cuts in one meet. I felt strong and ready to go.”
The times earn him spots at the State meet in February. Calwell will be competing in the 200 IM, the 100 breastroke, and two relays. He’s pretty excited. And Calwell is also pleased with the CHS swim team overall.
“A lot of people have improved on the team,” he said. “I attribute that to experience and hard work.”
Calwell will next compete at District Championships, held on February 6, at Propstra Pool.
