CANTON - Ada senior Klava Katayama capped her fine Bulldog career by finishing in the top four of two events at the Div. II Ohio state swim finals Friday in Canton's C.T. Branin Natatorium.
Katayama finished third in the 50-yard freestyle (23.56), and also touched fourth in the 100-yard butterfly (56.12) Friday night. Both were career-best finishes for her at the state meet.
Junior Mairin O'Brien of Hathaway Brown won the 50 free in a time of 23.1, finishing .46 ahead of Katayama. Junior Nyah Funderburke of Columbus School for Girls ended up first in the 100 fly in 54.68, her time 1.44 ahead of the Bulldog senior.
Last year, Katayama finished fourth in the 50-yard freestyle and sixth in the 100 butterfly finals at the Div. II girls state swim meet A finals.
A top eight finish confers all-state status. It was the fourth straight year Katayama made it to the state meet. She will attend Marshall University next year and swim.
200 freestyle relay
The Ada girls 200 freestyle relay quartet also ended up 16th out of 24 teams after finishing eighth in the B finals race Friday evening.
Freshmen Carlie Oldfield and Kaitlyn Bowden, junior Paige Cole and Katayama combined to finish the 200 free finals event in 1:43.12, which was 1.45 seconds off their preliminary time finish the night before.
A top eight preliminary finish in an event qualified swimmer(s) to the A Finals, while a 9-through-16 finish meant inclusion in the B Finals.
