Auburn Mountainview boys swimming coach Justin Pritchard may have had an inkling of the glory that awaited junior Cameron Lindsay at the state 3A championships on Saturday. After a second-place performance in the 100-yard backstroke in preliminaries on Friday, Pritchard said he was anxious to see what his top swimmer could pull off in the finals. "It was exciting, he was so close to getting that top time (Friday) to get the song to walk out to," Pritchard said. "You just wonder how they're going to swim in that situation, right in the middle with the second fastest time. You just start wondering what they're going to do next for you." In prelims Lindsay had notched a 52.82-second finish, just behind Andrew Weiss of Mercer Island's 52.44. Lindsay, however saved his best for Saturday, defeating his former King County Aquatics teammate Weiss 51.29 to 51.35, and grabbing the Washington State 3A 100 back championships.

For Auburn Mountainview boys swimming coach Justin Pritchard, the West Central District III 3A 200-yard freestyle finals was as thrilling as it comes. "We'd never won a district relay title before, and that race is kind of fun because it's so fast," he said. "I would say this was one of the most exciting races we've had. "Luke (Lavine) goes into the water first and leads after a half-lap. And with the next two guys (Stephen Creed and Colin Lempert), we find ourselves maybe a stroke behind," Pritchard said. "Then Cameron (Lindsay) goes in and had his best flip turn of the year. He went in behind and came out a stroke ahead. That was very exciting." At the end of the race, the Lions' foursome posted the fastest time at the meet, with freshman Lavine, senior Creed, sophomore Lempert and junior Lindsay posting a school-record effort of 1 minute, 33.88 seconds. It was program's first-ever district title and propelled the Lions into this weekend's state championships at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way.
