Miller sets records vs. FR

The first dual-meet win of the season included some record-setting swims.

The Jay County Summer Swim Team got several records from Sam Miller on the way to a 679-493 victory Monday over the Fort Recovery Eels at Portland Pool.

Miller broke a nearly 20-year-old record in the 15-and-older butterfly with his time of 59.11 seconds. It snapped the team record of 1-minute, 1.31 seconds set by Jason Arnold in 1990, and also bettered Miller's own pool record.

The recent Jay County High School graduate also destroyed his own team and pool marks in the breaststroke by more than four seconds at 1:08.01. The previous mark was 1:12.13.

James took the long freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke in the 9-10-year-old boys division, and Noah Hummel won the butterfly, individual medley and short freestyle. For the 11-12-year-old girls it was Vormohr winning the long freestyle, butterfly and breaststroke, and Bader taking the backstroke, individual medley and short freestyle.
