Hopkinsville eighth-grader Cam Peacock was the lone swimmer holding the Tiger flag at Sunday’s Region I Swim Meet.
Peacock finished in third place in the 500-yard freestyle in a time of 6:08.28 and was fourth in the 100-yard breaststroke (1:18.62).
Peacock’s finishes totaled 31 points and put Hoptown into eighth place all by himself.
Sunday’s region meet at the Rick Cohn Aquatic Center was delayed two days due to the winter weather that left many roads in western Kentucky ice-covered. Because of the delay, the preliminary round was scratched and Sunday’s event was a timed final.
First and second place finishers automatically qualify for the KHSAA Boys’ State Swimming Championships presented by UK HealthCare on February 18 at the University of Kentucky. The next 22 fastest times statewide will also qualify.
