Oh, what a night
Franklin broke four Oil City pool records -- with Camden Smith having had a hand in all of them -- in a 96-74 victory over the Oilers Feb. 5.
Two more big accomplishments followed:
-
The Knights wrapped up the region title with a 96-68 win over Grove City on Feb. 8. It was their first region crown since 2013 when they shared it with Grove City.
-
And finally on Feb. 13, they beat Titusville, 110-60, for a 13-0 record, their first unbeaten campaign since 2012.
​
Unlike the first go-round against Oil City when the Knights swept all 11 firsts, Franklin "only" took six races Feb. 5.
"We had a different agenda for this meet than the first time we swam Oil City," Franklin coach Charlie Smith told The News-Herald. "Obviously, we wanted to get a team win, but we were also hunting records, and we got four of them."
Smith's records came in the 50 free (21.77), 100 free (47.49) and in the medley relay (1:40.29) with Kye Winslow, Nathan Pfennigwerth and Jordan Stumpf) and 400 free relay (same four, 3:22.02).
​
The old open free records were set in the 1980s -- 1987 in the 50 and 1886 in the 100 -- that by Oil City''s Wes Gaylor (48.37). Smith's time in the 100 also broke the region mark set in 2014 by Franklin's Phil Emerson (47.74).
Earlier, the medley relay shattered the old record of 1:43.19 set in 1996 by Darren Livezey, Mike Frederick, Ryan Fennick and Nate Edmondson. Grove City held the former 400 free relay mark of 3:25.27.
