Lawrence High senior Jack Ryan swims the backstroke in the boys 200 yard IM at the LHS Invitational on Thursday, January 21, 2106.

Lawrence High senior diver Izaiah Bowie admitted he was a little nervous before his first dive at the LHS Invitational on Thursday.

It was the Lions’ first and only home meet, and it was Senior Day.

With his teammates lined up around the walls of the pool, Bowie thrived under the pressure and took first place in the one-meter dive. Bowie’s win was one of the many standout performances for the Lions, where they won the team title in the six-team meet by 92 points over runner-up McPherson.

“There was a lot of pressure but my dives were probably the best they’ve been in a while,” Bowie said. “It was great. I did really well. There wasn’t a whole lot of competition out here, but we all did great.”

The Lions won eight of the 12 events, including in the 200 medley relay and 400 freestyle relay. Sophomores Stephen Johnson, Isaac Springe and Alex Heckman added victories.

But for the seniors, it was a chance to enjoy themselves at their home pool.

“It was pretty cool,” said senior Chase Odgers, who was second in the 200 individual medley and third in the 100 butterfly. “Last time to swim in this pool in like a competition setting, so it’s kind of bittersweet. We all did pretty well.”

LHS junior Patrick Oblon was third and senior Hunter Boehle was fifth in the 50 freestyle, junior Raymond Faith was fifth in the 100 butterfly and freshman Anton Martinez de Velasco was second in the one-meter dive.

“The guys really wanted it,” LHS coach Kent McDonald said. “They had more fun. The pool is a little bit of a slow pool. But they still got a lot of PR’s because they get (excited) for it.”
