Recent Freedom High School graduate, Sam Magnan, competed at the National Swim Championships on Aug. 6-10 in San Antonio, Texas.

Magnan swam the 400, making it into the bonus final. His final time was 3:57.82.

Magnan also swam the 1500 and the 200 fly, his best event of the week.

"I time-trialed the 200 fly. It was good. I made the national bonus cut," he said.

The qualifying time in the 200 fly is 2:05.49, and Magnan finished in 2:05.42.

It was Magnan's first time at Nationals.

"I was the only one out there from our team [Parkland Aquatic Club], but the University of Virginia had a lot of swimmers out there. I've been to other meets with the same people," he said.

Magnan will head to the University of Virginia this Friday to begin his freshman year, where he will be a member of the men's swimming team, and a business major.

Magnan already qualified in the 1500 and the 400 for the Olympic Trials which will take place in June.
