MESA — Ewan Cain really wanted to break 1-minute, 50-seconds in his first individual state championship swim race Nov. 7.
“I really wanted to be under 1:50,” CaiN said, minutes after winning the Division I state title in the 200 boys individual medley. “When you’re in the water, you’re just trying to go fast. But leading up to it, I tried to prepare to break that time.”
Cain’s time of 1:48.35 in the 200 IM gave the Millennium senior the title by more than 4 seconds over the runner-up, Beckam Patience of Highland. It also helped the Tiger boys place sixth overall by scoring 168 team points with strong performances at the state championships, held at the Skyline High School facility.
