One of the largest contingents of swimmers from the Edmonds School District in recent years will be competing this week at the WIAA State Boys Swimming & Diving Championships, to be held Friday and Saturday, Feb. 21-22, at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way.

Swimmers from Edmonds-Woodway, Lynnwood and Mountlake Terrace High Schools have qualified for 14 events at the state championships, with a pair of swimmers expected to challenge for top podium medals at the event.

Edmonds-Woodway’s Anton Teplouhov will compete in both the 3A Boys’ 50-Yard Freestyle and the 3A Boys’ 100-Yard Freestyle after posting the fourth-best time in the state in each event this year.

Lynnwood’s Zachary Bevans has the second-fastest time in the 3A Boys’ 100-Yard Butterfly this season and will be hoping for a big finish in that event at state.

E-W, Lynnwood and Terrace are all particularly strong in relay events this year; the Warriors and the Hawks each have three relay teams qualified for state, while the Royals have two.

The state championship meet begins with 4A preliminary races on Friday at 9:45 a.m. The 1A/2A swimmers — including the Mountlake Terrace Hawks — take to the pool at 2 p.m. while 3A preliminary heats — that will include swimmers from E-W and Lynnwood — take over at 6:30 p.m.

Event finals take place on Saturday; the 1A/2A final heats begin at 2:10 p.m. and the 3A finals are scheduled to start at 7 p.m.
