While the Sedona Swim Team didn’t send a big delegation to the Mesa Athletic Club for the Arizona Senior State Swim Championships, the group they sent did well.

With Andrew Tate sidelined with a hand injury, Emma Warner was the only swimmer competing for the Sedona Swim Team. Sedona Red Rock High School freshman Carlos Lattanzi — who swims for Club Neptune in Phoenix but trains with the Sedona Swim Team as well and swims for SRRHS in the fall — also competed.

Lattanzi, for the second time in recent weeks, set a new state record for the 13-14 year-old age group. This time he and his Club Neptune teammates set it in the 800 freestyle relay. Warner, meanwhile, qualified for the finals in the 100 breaststroke and had a 1:07.7, her best time in the event.

“She [Warner] was sick and had a bunch of setbacks going into it,” Sedona Swim Team coach Dan Morse said. “But she was really happy with her best time.”

While the Sedona delegation was small in numbers, it wasn’t alone. They hung out with their friends from different Flagstaff teams. Warner — who will attend Northern Arizona University next fall after graduating from Mingus in the spring — knows many swimmers from those teams.

“It was a good weekend. It was fun even with just the two kids,” Morse said. “It was a small weekend but overall a good weekend.”

The Senior State Swim Championships was the final event for the Sedona Swim Team for a while.

The team will have its next competition in May when the long course season begins.

“We’re kind of chilling out until summer now,” the coach added.

The hiatus will come to an end at the end of May. Then, the Sedona Swim Team will be back in action at the Beat the Heat Classic, which will take place from Friday, May 29 through Sunday, May 31 at the NAU Wall Aquatic Center in Flagstaff. Following that, the SST will host the Sedona Splash at the Sedona Community Pool on Saturday, June 20 and Sunday, June 21.
