Lakeridge Swim Team’s Luke Hobson had one win and two bests tonight in St. George as the Sectional Championships wrapped up.
Hobson went 8:58.07 to take the 1000 free this afternoon, which was a lifetime best by over four seconds and his first time under nine minutes. He then finished runner-up in the 100 free, going 43.34 behind Paseo Aquatics Swim Team’s Manuel Leuthard (43.24), a Swiss national training in California. For Hobson, that was his first time under 44 in the 100 free.
15-year-old Bailey Hartman of the Crow Canyon Country Club Sharks continued her winning ways, cracking the 50-second barrier for the first time to hit a lifetime best of 49.56 in the 100 free. Hartman adds that to her win tally, which includes victories this weekend in the 200 free and 200 IM.
In fifth place was 13-year-old Liberty Clark in a lifetime best 51.31. Clark is quickly becoming one of the best young sprinters in the country, ranking sixth this season among 13-year-olds nationally; she entered the meet with a best of 53.34.
Canyons Aquatic Club’s Kyle Brill completed the backstroke sweep, going 1:45.54 to take a few tenths off of his previous best from prelims, which was his first time under 1:50 ever. He entered this meet with a 1:52.32, so the UCSB commit has emerged as an overnight star in the backstrokes. In the women’s 200 back, Emma Karam won easily in 1:55.80, gaining .25 from prelims.
OTHER WINNERS
- La Mirada Armada’s Elizabeth Ramirez took the 200 breast easily, just off of her best with a 2:14.47.
- The men’s 200 breast went to Coronado’s Aedan Lewis, as he dropped under two minutes with a 1:59.87.
Best of all, he didn’t have a lap counter for the 1000!
Is the club Lakeridge not lakeride? First sentence
Great range for the future Longhorn. Any chance his parent’s swam at USC in the 80’s?
Yes, mom swam backstroke for Don Lamont and dad was an NCAA freestyle finalist for Peter Daland. I think Luke just past dad’s best time in the 500 this weekend.
There you go
keep up the good work
Sub 20 on the 50 free
43 on the 100
Sub 9 on the 1000
That’s some range
Perfect fit at Texas.
I had the same reaction. Insane range. And yet — becoming less rare at the same time. Kudos to this kid
St George UT is at 2700 FYI elevation, not crazy high, but but for flatlanders like me, you can feel a wee bit on the longer races, so a sub 9 is even more impressive.

Still classified as “at sea level”
Besides- the pool is brand new and incredibly fast at that too
