TIFTON — The Tiftarea Tidal Wave finished fourth overall after second-day points were tallied for the Georgia Recreation and Park Association Class B/C swim meet Saturday at Baldwin Drive Aquatic Center.

Saturday’s races ended with preliminaries. Thunderstorms initially delayed the finals, but when the system stuck around all afternoon, the GRPA and USA Swimming officials opted to end the meet and let the preliminary results count as final results.

The Calhoun Blue Barracudas had the highest combined team score with 548 points.

Oconee County Parks and Recreation and the Douglas Stingrays were second and third with 523 and 459 points, respectively. Tiftarea finished fourth with 445 points, improving on their fifth place finish from 2016.

Tiftarea had the third highest women’s scores over the two days, with 212, barely trailing the 233 of Oconee and the 222 of Douglas. The boys scores finished with Tiftarea in fourth place, trailing Calhoun, Oconee and Douglas.

Calhoun entered Saturday in fourth place overall with 144 points, but had a remarkable run over the last 54 events. The Blue Barracudas had 10 first places, 13 second places and nine third places to surge into the lead.

Tiftarea had led overall after the first day, with 282 total points.

Other teams from the Tidal Wave’s district did well at state. Thomasville finished fifth with 270 points. Moultrie was 13th, Bainbridge was 20th and Fitzgerald was 21st. Valdosta, which sent a limited number of athletes to state, did not advance to any finals.

The Tidal Wave did not have the fastest time in any event Saturday, but accumulated many second places.

Mary Grace White achieved the first of these in the girls 15-18 100-yard freestyle, which she swam in 57.93 seconds during prelims. Hayden Roberts later had a second place in the boys 11-12 100-yard individual medley, as did Stephanie Connell in the girls 15-18 100 individual medley.

The combination of Tucker Dowdy, Zander Erskine, Roberts and Alex Shepherd were runners-up in the boys 12-and-under 200 freestyle relay. Their final second place finish came in the girls 18-and-under 200 freestyle relay, from Lauren Stone, Connell, Carrie Engram and White, who missed the top spot by three-tenths of a second.

Third places went to Shepherd and Stone in the 100 freestyle, with Stone also placing third in the 50-yard freestyle. Jacob Redd was third in the 100 individual medley, missing first place by just two seconds.

In relays, the boys 12-and-under team of Dowdy, Sumner Powell, Roberts and Shepherd were third in the 200-yard medley relay.
