After snatching four first place medals at Propstra Pool Thursday, Seth Albert helped the Camas High School boys swimmers hoist up the 4A district championship trophy.
“It’s a little heavy,” Albert said, still catching his breath and rinsing the sting out of his arms after a perfect day in the water. The senior won both the 200- and the 100-meter freestyle races before helping the Papermakers win the 200 and the 400 freestyle relay events.
“I came into the pool today saying ‘I’m going to get a first place medal.’ I didn’t expect to get four,” Albert said. “I’m competitive. I love being first in everything. I don’t like to get second.”
Camas racked up 459 points to win the five-team district meet. Skyview took second place with 323 points and Union was third with 220 points.
Albert and teammate Max Urbanek ran the table in the 200 freestyle. Albert touched the wall first in 1 minute. 53.96 seconds and Urbanek followed him in 1:54.63.
