MARSHALLTOWN — Joel Paplow made it to the finals in both events he qualified for at the YMCA State Swim Meet last Sunday (March 2) at the Marshalltown YMCA.
Competing in the 11-12 boys 100-yard breaststroke final, Paplow placed fourth with a time of 1 minute, 25.94 seconds.
Competing in the 11-12 boys 50-yard breaststroke final, Paplow placed fifth with a time of 39.16 seconds.
Paplow nearly qualified for the state meet in the 50 backstroke, but missed the cut by two-tenths (0.2) of a second.
Paplow has been swimming with the Charles City YMCA Swim Team for six years.
Paplow lives just inside the Nashua-Plainfield School District zone. He plans to swim in high school, but since N-P doesn’t have a swimming pool or team and Charles City no longer has a pool and team, it will likely be at Mason City or somewhere else.
The Charles City YMCA Swim Team is coached by Sydney Kiefer, who used to swim for CCHS when it had a team.
