James Buchanan won two swimming state titles and diver Derek Anderson added a third as the Lindbergh Eagles swim team placed sixth overall in the state meet this past weekend in Federal Way.
Buchanan, a junior, won the 200-yard individual medley in a time of 1:58.08 and took home the top spot in the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 0:52.54
Anderson, a junior, easily won the one-meter diving event with a score of 410.30, more than 60 points ahead of his closest competitor.
Lindbergh did well all day long, with the 200-yard medley relay team of Buchanan, Anderson, Andrew Pogue and Benjamin Pogue finishing third, while the 200-yard freestyle relay of Cris Midrigan, Andrew Pogue, Anthony Vogeler and Benjamin Pogue finished 10th and the 400-yard freestyle relay team of Benjamin Pogue, Dupree Nugent, Vogeler and Buchanan placed fifth.
Individually, Vogeler also placed 14th in the 200-yard freestyle and 15th in the 500 free. Benjamin Pogue finished 10th in the 50 freestyle. And along with his diving title, Anderson placed 16th in the 100-yard breaststroke.
THIS STORY HAS BEEN CORRECTED: Due to a reporter error, James Buchanan’s year at Lindbergh was incorrectly reported. He is a junior.
