The Bainbridge Spartans have a new superhero.
Bainbridge High swimmer Garrett Waite qualified for the state 3A swimming championships in the 100-yard breaststroke during last Friday’s meet against Bishop Blanchet.
Waite finished first in the race with a time of 1:01.18 – just under the state qualifying time of 1:02.80.
And with that, the standout swimmer has now qualified to compete at state in all eight individual swimming events. The last boys swimmer for BHS to swim all eight events — and earn “ironman” status — was Andrew McCarthy in 2012.
Waite wasn’t the only Spartan to make a splash in the Metro matchup, which Bainbridge won, 107-73.
Makai Ingalls punched his ticket to state with a time of 4:50.89 in the 500-yard freestyle, and Jude Wenker will also be headed to Federal Way after finishing in 2:00.31 in the 200-yard IM. (The state qualifying mark for the 500 free is 4:59.00, and for the 200-yard IM, 2:03.50).
Following last week’s meet, the Spartans now have a total of 28 individual qualifying times, and three relay times, for the state championships.
Against Bishop Blanchet, the Spartans again dominated in the 200-yard medley relay, with first- and third-place wins, and also took first and second in the 500-yard freestyle and the 100-yard backstroke.
