Brian Kiel and Kendrick Bachman continued their assault on pool and state records on Saturday during the All-City Meet in boys swimming and diving.
Kiel had an all-time state best time during the meet and had plenty of help from his talented teammates as Century won the three-team affair with 771 points. Mayo was second with 525 and John Marshall was third with 513.
Century won nine of the 12 events. Kiel had a hand in four victories and was part of three pool records in the meet held at John Marshall. The senior’s most dominating performance came in the 100-yard backstroke. Kiel set a state record with a winning time of 49.15.
Kiel also set a pool mark by winning the 200 individual medley in 1:50.14.
