Renton’s Steve Sholdra won a state title, shattered a state record and earned All-American consideration at the 2A state swim and dive meet Feb. 18-19.

Sholdra swam a time of four minutes, 35.66 seconds in the 500-yard freestyle in the finals, beating the second-place swimmer by over 20 seconds.

“It was really cool,” Sholdra said. “I achieved every single goal I had at the meet.”

The previous 2A state meet record was 4:59.96 set in 2009. Sholdra’s time also earned him All-American consideration. All-American status goes to the top 100 national times in each event.

Sholdra missed consideration by 0.40 seconds in the preliminaries, something he didn’t realize until later that night.

“Realizing I was so close to getting it,” he said. “I watched a bunch of videos and really worked in fine-tuning every detail of my stroke Friday night.”

Sholdra will find out if he made All-American status this summer.

Sholdra also took fifth in the 100 breast.
