ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Sydney Hall

Wheatmore, girls’ swimming

Hall was part of victories in four events as the Warriors won last week’s Piedmont Athletic Conference championships.

She won the 100-meter butterfly, 100 backstroke and took part in two first-place relays in competition at High Point Swim Club. Her backstroke time of 1 minute, 21.72 seconds reflected nearly a 17-second winning margin.

Wheatmore was the clear team winner with 84 points to 54 for second-place Providence Grove among the five teams that were entered.

Hall, a junior, joined with Paislee Hollifield, Emily Cribbs and Sophie Williamson on Wheatmore’s winning 200 medley relay, which posted a time of 2:32.60. The Warriors won the 400 freestyle relay with Ava Williams, Sophie Williamson, Hollifield and Hall in 5:31.10.

The PAC boys’ meet was won by Providence Grove, which scored 58 points to runner-up Wheatmore’s 54. Patriots teammates Austin Williams (200 freestyle, 200 medley relay, 200 freestyle relay) and Ashton Taylor (50 freestyle, 100 breaststroke, 200 medley relay, 200 freestyle relay) were both four-time winners.
