| The Franklin Flyers swim team is flying high in the Poseidon series championships - a large regional multi-meet series where swimmers and teams accumulate points. Last weekend three swimmers had outstanding outings accumulating points and records. Barrett Smith set a series record for 9- and 10-year-olds in the 50-yard butterfly with a 31.83. This also broke a 23-year-old Franklin held by Nathan Frye. Smith sits in second place overall in the series only six points behind the leader. Camden Smith had a monster meet, setting three meet records in the 15 and older boys division. He is currently the top ranked swimmer in the series. His 21.58 in the 50-yard freestyle, 23.93 in the 50-yard butterfly and 52.42 in the 100-yard butterfly are part of the reason. The Poseidon Championship Series Invitational takes place over four months with top swimmers from Eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania. The website states the competition is comparable to district- and state-level championships After completing two of the three meets in the series, Franklin sits in seventh place of 15 teams in the large team division Wren Keith broke the 9- and 10-year-old Franklin record with 1:18.74 in the 100-butterfly at the Oil City Invitational. Keith sits in seventh place in the Poseidon series as well. |   |
Editor's note: We inadvertently called Camden Smith a wrestler in the first post. We have corrected that.
