Fritz Russell
Sophomore, Roger Bacon Swimming
Fritz is dominating the District in his sophomore season. After winning both of his individual events at Sectionals, he went on to finish sixth in the 200 IM and seventh in the 100 fly at Districts, qualifying for State in both. He was also the anchor of the 400 freestyle relay that finished fifth at Districts. His time of 48.84 allowed him to chase down the team who placed sixth, giving the relay the final push to qualify for State. Fritz is a dedicated swimmer who is an asset to his team, and we wish him luck at the State Meet!
Helen Russell
Junior, Roger Bacon Swimming
Helen's junior season is panning out to be her best one yet. She placed second at Sectionals in the 100 fly and placed twelfth at Districts, qualifying for the State Meet for the third straight year. She was also a significant factor for the 200 free relay and 400 free relay that placed seventh and fifth respectively at Districts. She helped both relays make it to State and break school records, including a 21-year-old 200 free relay record. Helen has shown tremendous growth this season. She has battled back from injury, focused on improving her technique, and is ready to finish off a great season at State!
