Pearson finishes ninth in Butterfly

Pearson in the first leg of the 100 butterfly Friday afternoon.

Keenan Pearson swam a personal best of 55.0 seconds in the 100 butterfly at the state swim meet this afternoon. Pearson was happy with his performance (see video interview that will be up shortly).

Because Pearson finished outside of the top 8, he does not have a chance to earn a state medal. However, just a junior, he is looking to get back to state next year and crack the top 8.

Great job for Keenan today representing the Sauk centre-Melrose swim squad.

Pearson swam a personal best 55.0 in Friday's heat, finishing ninth.
