Skylar Drolema qualified for the Illinois Age Group State Swim Meet in 15 events.  The meet was held at the Rec Plex in Pleasant Prairie, WI, on Thursday, March 9, through Sunday, March 12, 2017.  He had to narrow down to seven the events he swam, which was the maximum number of events allowed in the meet.

Drolema had a terrific meet, with time cuts in every event.  He made seven trips to the podium to receive the medals he won–in every event he swam.  Skylar was the only Seahorse at State.  He earned 122 points, which placed Morrison 40th out of 80 teams.

Congratulations to Skylar and Coach Chelsea Brewer on a fantastic meet!
