Lucas Goes to State

If you see him in the halls, make sure to congratulate Jacob Lucas on becoming a State qualifying swimmer in the 50 freestyle. He won 1st place at the Pekin Sectional with a state qualifying time of 21.59. This time also gives him the school record! After missing this mark by .2 of a second last year, we was able to achieve this accomplishment after literal years of training. His next race was at state competition on February 24 at the FMC Natatorium in Westmont, Illinois where he placed 38th overall in state for the 50 freestyle. Congratulations, Jacob!
