Bountiful • It was apparent that a power vacuum existed in many events as the Class 6A state swim meet began Thursday.
About half of the individuals and relay squads at the top of last year’s big-school meet had graduated. And the other half were attending schools that are in different classifications, like Cottonwood, Brighton and Sky View.
So it was the perfect opportunity for Lone Peak senior Braden Tiffany to grab some glory in the 200-yard individual medley. It was an event he hadn’t competed in at state last year, and his qualifying times measured up quite favorably, with one exception.
