Richmond Hill’s Camryn Baraniak was undefeated this past weekend at the 2019 Speedo Southern Premier swim meet at the University of Tennessee.

The Richmond Hill Middle School 7th grader took first place in the 200 IM, 100 IM, 200 Free, 50 Free, 100 Butterfly, 50 Butterfly and the 50 Backstroke.

Teams from all over the southeastern United States participated in this qualifying meet.

Baraniak, 12, trains with the Georgia Coastal Aquatic Team in Savannah and is coached by former Olympic medalist Bill Forrester.

“I’m excited about Camryn’s performance this season. She is learning to work through the tough part of the season. Now at the end of the season, she is seeing the results of her efforts. This summer she has high goals for the long course season,” Forrester said. “I look forward to working with her to help her accomplish those goals.”
