Local swimmer ties for first at U.S. Open

— Tom Doran (August 9, 2008 12:42 AM)

Michele King, a junior at the University of Tennessee and a native of York, tied for first place in the 50-meter freestyle at the recent U.S. Open swim meet in Minneapolis.

King and Madison Kennedy each posted a time of 25.22 seconds to share the title. The tie for first place earned King an automatic berth to the 2009 World University Games in Belgrade, Serbia.

King's time in the 50-meter freestyle at the U.S Open is a career-best, bettering a time of 25.43 seconds at the 2008 Olympic time trials.
