Kasey Calwell competed in four 4A state championship swimming races for Camas Saturday, at the King County Aquatic Center, in Federal Way.

The academic state championship Camas High School boys swimming team captured seventh place at its first 4A state meet Saturday, at the King County Aquatic Center, in Federal Way.

“This has just been an incredible season of firsts. This was our first time in 4A and our first time winning the academic award. We also had a lot of people coming up here for the first time, making it to the finals and getting up on that podium,” said senior co-captain Trent Harimoto. “It’s been an amazing four years of ups and downs, crazy experiences and memories. I’m so glad that it happened this way. I wouldn’t change a thing.”
