Boys and girls swim team members during their recent team banquet.

Boulder City High School girls swimming finished fourth at the 3A state meet, and for their efforts, eight Eagles were named to the All-Southern Region team.

Leading the way for the girls, Zoey McClaren and Chayce Larson were both named first-team selections.

A double champion individually, McClaren led the way with first-place finishes in the 200-yard freestyle and 500-yard freestyle for the girls.

McClaren was also part of the Eagles’ third-place 400-yard freestyle relay, with Chayce Larson, Savannah Fecteau and Hannah Angell.

“Zoey was dominant in her events and relays,” head coach Sara Carroll said. “She did great.”

In the 200-yard freestyle, Chayce Larson finished sixth.

“Chayce has been very valuable all four years and I gave her the coach’s award,” Carroll said. “I’m going to miss her in relays, plus I’m so proud of her for trying the 200-freestyle her last year.”

Making second-team All-region for the girls was Fecteau, Angell, Audrey Humphrey, Chelsie Larson and Kennedy Steckelberg.

Qualifying for state, Angell finished fifth in the 100-yard butterfly, while Fecteau finished seventh in the 500-yard freestyle.

At regionals, Steckelberg took fifth in the 200-yard freestyle, while Humphrey finished seventh in the 50-yard freestyle.

Chelsi Larson finished eighth in the 100-yard freestyle.

Making it to the honorable mention team, Sophia Kelso finished eighth in the 100-yard backstroke.

“We have good young girl depth,” Carroll said. “They’re a versatile and great supporting cast.”
