Spent Saturday at the King County Aquatics Center in Federal Way, shooting the Boys 4A State Swim Meet, thus completing a recent trifecta of shooting prep wrestling, gymnastics, and swimming.
Snohomish High School dominated the event, accomplishing two goals they had set for their season: winning the team title, and also breaking a 17-year old state record in the 200 yard Medley Relay.
Here are some images from the day:

Richmond's Cody Roberts is a blur as he battles for the lead with Carl Weigley from Mount Tahoma during the 100-yard butterfly finals. Weigley beat Roberts to the finish for first place. (Canon EOS 1d Mark II, EF 70-200mm lens set at 200mm, ISO 1000, 1/6 sec., f22)

Snohomish's Eric Pedack cheers for his teammates during the 200 yard medley relay. The Panthers won the relay and set a state record in the process of 1:36:12. Pedack swam one of the legs of the record relay. (Canon EOS 1d Mark II, EF 16-35mm/f2.8 lens set at 16mm, ISO 1000, 1/500 sec., f2.8)
