The Kentucky High School Athletic Association will hold its swimming and diving state championships this weekend. The meet has some star power and significant depth in a number of events.
Stanford commit Brooke Forde is poised for two state titles. The Sacred Heart senior is the top seed in the 200 and 500 freestyles.
Christian Academy’s Nick Albiero is also ready to end his high school career on top. Albiero, who is headed to swim for his father at Louisville in the fall, is top seed in the 100 butterfly and 100 backstroke.
His sister Gabi stole headlines at this meet last year when she won the 50 freestyle in state record time as only an eighth grader. She returns to the meet as the event’s second seed this year. The freshman is also entered in the 100 butterfly.
Cov. Catholic’s Nick Smith enters the meet with a dominant lead in the 200 and 500 freestyles while Zach Hils of Lex. Catholic does the same in the 200 IM and 100 freestyle.
