ORLANDO - Sebring swimmer Megan Wolfe made her last high school meet one to remember.

Competing in Saturday's Class 2A state meet in Orlando, the Blue Streak senior blazed to a third-place finish in the 50-yard freestyle in a time of 23.98.

Wolfe also placed 14th in the 100 butterfly event with a time of 59.31.

Her time in the 50 free is an All-American consideration time and both of her times are Sebring High School and Highlands County records.

"It would have been nice to finish higher in the fifty free, but I swam under twenty four seconds and that means a lot me," said Wolfe. "My butterfly time was a personal best and it feels really good to swim well and go out with a bang at the state meet."

Wolfe, who is trying to lower her 50 freestyle time enough to qualify for nationals in December, had an outstanding performance in a meet on Sunday at Lake Brantley High School in Orlando.

Wolfe swam a 23.86, which automatically earns her a spot at the national meet at Georgia Tech University in December.

"I've qualified for the junior nationals and to finally qualify for the nationals in the fifty free is great," Wolfe said. "I'm going to keep working hard to lower my times and be swimming my best when December rolls around."
