A second sport is supposed to help you get ready for the first. Sometimes it becomes a story of its own.
KYMA reports that four Yuma High baseball players joined swim for conditioning and broke two school relay records at the Saturday Night Fever invitational in Chandler.
The swimmers are Marcus Hancock, Roman Jacobo, Alonzo Fierro and Antonio Fierro. KYMA gives their 200-yard medley relay time as 1:59.58, more than four seconds faster than the previous school mark, and their 200-yard freestyle relay as 1:43.91, more than three seconds faster.
Those times and record comparisons come from KYMA’s Oct. 25 report. Yuma Informed has not independently checked the meet results or school record book.
The report also credits Cibola’s boys 400-yard freestyle relay with cutting about six and a half seconds from its seed time, and Eleanor Hauck with third-place finishes in the 200 individual medley and 100 butterfly.
State qualification was still pending in that report. A good swim and a confirmed state berth are separate things.
