OCALA — While the men's relay teams for Choctaw and Niceville battled it out in Friday's 3A Swimming and Diving State Championships, a couple of Eagle women made a run at gold in their respective individual swims.

Choctaw's Eric Radomski, Jachym Baca, Bode McGuirk and Zach Smith finished third in boys 200-yard medley relay in 1:36.45 to nip the fourth-place Niceville group of Tripp Gallemore, Kian Fuhrman, Nicholas Venture and Logan Michel who finished in 1:36.45.

But Niceville's Venture, Michel, Fuhrman and Joseph William Pugh finished third in the 200-yard freestyle relay in 1:27.32, ahead of the sixth-place team of Choctaw's Baca, Radomski, Smith and Juliano Reents Velez at 1:28.00.

Baca also placed sixth in the 100-yard backstroke in 57.48 as the Choctaw men finished 13th as a team. Gallemore's seventh-place finish in the 100-yard backstroke in 52.38 seconds helped the Eagle men place eighth as a team.

On the women's side, Elisabeth Breck and Khloe De Santana Guidry each had three medals for the Eagles.

Breck nearly won the 100-yard backstroke after a 56.33 finish, just .19 seconds off the pace of state champ Haylee Hite, and finished sixth in the 100-yard freestyle in 52.91.
