CV senior Micah Leaman concluded his time in the pool representing the Buckskins with a ninth-place finish in the 500 free at the PIAA District III Championships held on March 6th at Cumberland Valley High School.

Leaman was the sole Conestoga Valley representative at the District meet and was seeded 11th in the 500 free. In his final race, Leaman not only exceeded his seeding rank, but also shaved nearly six seconds off his previous career-best time to produce a new personal best of 4:50.92.

"He looked so smooth and relaxed. It was a great swim for his final high school meet," celebrated his coach Barb Raasch.

In his journey to Districts, Leaman had a breakout performance at the L-L League Championships in February where he produced career best times in multiple events. He placed second in the 500 free (4:56.14), fifth in the 200 IM (2:01.51), as well as supplying his best ever times in his splits of both the 200 and 400 free relays.

"Micah had the meet of his life," said Raasch of the senior's efforts at the League Championships. "With Districts only taking the top 12 in each individual event this year, that is a fantastic achievement. Micah has worked hard through his career and we are so proud of him."
