State swimming: Dale sets state record; DHS wins four events
Matt Hamilton/The Daily Citizen Dalton's relay team of Wil Cushman, Omar Farag, Pierson Scarborough and Taylor Dale won state in the 200 medley.
ATLANTA — Charles Todd has been coaching high school swimming for 24 years. He’s seen Olympic swimmers on the way up. In his view, Dalton High junior Taylor Dale “has the most talent” of anyone he’s ever had in the Catamounts’ lineup.

Dale backed up Todd’s opinion on Saturday against the best the state had to offer.
He took home three of the Cats’ four titles on Saturday at the Georgia High School Association’s Class A-4A state meet at Georgia Tech. He won two individual events — the 100-yard backstroke in 48.84 seconds and the 100 butterfly in 48.55 seconds, which set a new GHSA state record for the event — and one relay, the 200 medley with junior Pierson Scarborough and seniors Omar Farag and Wil Cushman in a time of 1:34.49. - Area Roundup: Wrestlers earn trip to Duluth
