After winning four Olympic gold medals last summer, American swimming darling
Missy Franklin finished out her prep career at
Regis Jesuit (Aurora, Colo.)
in style by winning two more individual titles and anchoring two relays
to victory. She led the Raiders to a second straight 5A state title.
She
won the 200-yard individual medley in a national record of 1:56.86
seconds, the 500 freestyle in a state record 4:41.72 and anchored the championship
200 and 400 freestyle relays.
After the state finals
at the Edora Pool Ice Center, she told the Denver post: "Now, I realize
why I did this. It's being with my girls for the last time. It's the
very last swim with all of them and for me to have a Regis cap on my
head."
