Competing in the 100 back on Saturday morning at the Williamsport Coaches Invitational in swimming, Williamsport’s Kendall Cohick and Jersey Shore’s Reese Charney swam a thrilling race down to the wire. It saw Cohick edge the Bulldog and fellow state qualifier by just 0.15 seconds to win the title in a close race.

And, in the process, Cohick made history once again.

The win by Cohick in 59.36 over Charney’s 59.51 time gave Cohick the Williamsport school record for the 100 back on a day in which two Williamsport school records fell on Saturday. Cohick broke her own record which she set at districts last year.

It was a day of tight competition and exciting races at Williamsport’s Coaches Invitational full of plenty of local swimmers having success.

Cohick’s record wasn’t the only one to be broken on Saturday. Williamsport’s 200 medley relay team broke the Williamsport pool record with a time of 1:37.28. The team consisted of Cooper Allmaras, Evan Summers, Keller Griswold and Brady Ross. That foursome set the school record last Saturday at the Cedar Crest Classic Invitational before setting their own pool’s record this Saturday in 1:37.28.

“The medley relay did an awesome job. They were focused today on breaking the pool record and they did. It was awesome to watch. I can’t wait to see how much more they can drop that time come districts,” Johnson said.

“It was also very exciting to watch Kendall. The last thing I said to her before she went to the blocks was break it and she managed to break her own record that she set during districts last year,” Johnson added. “I was so glad to see her do it while we are still in the regular season. I feel she’s going to break it again by much more come districts.”

Central Mountain had a pair of swimmers who won two events each in senior standouts Camryn Bair and Jonathan Hughes, two swimmers who both qualified last year for the state tournament in Class AAA.

Bair claimed a victory in the 200 IM in 2:11.64, winning by six seconds over Cohick, who took second in 2:17.21. Wellsboro’s Makenna Robbins took fifth in 2:32.38. In the girls 100 breast, Bair swam a time of 1:06.51 to win by beating teammate Gabriella Hosley in 1:12.17. Hughesville’s Ashlynn Barlett was third in 1:14.32 and Williamsport’s Kyla Becker finished fifth in 1:16.59.

Bair’s time in the 200 IM also re-broke her own school record she set earlier this year by three seconds.

Bair ended her day with two relay victories as well. She was part of the Central Mountain 200 medley relay team alongside Abrianna Hosley, Gabriella Hosley and Anna Stahl who won in 1:55.05, winning by less than a second over Jersey Shore’s Kate Butzler, Reese Charney, Aralynn Kimble and Lila Nestlerode (1:56.44). That same Wildcat foursome also won the 200 free relay in 1:45.52.
