Tunkhannock’s boys were the dominant swim team in District 2 Class 2A all season. On Friday evening, the Tigers took that performance to the state stage, taking home a flurry of medals — one of them golden.

Meanwhile, Dallas freshman Locklynn Bienkowski and Scranton Prep senior Lukas Iannone earned individual silver medals Friday on day one of the PIAA Class 2A Swimming and Diving Championships at Bucknell University’s Kinney Natatorium.

The Tigers 200 freestyle relay team of Kyle Kozloski, Chase Newhart, Aidan Mislevy and Jaden Baltrusaitis proved to be the fastest in the state, winning the gold medal in 1:25.33 just ahead of Cathedral Prep’s 1:25.42.

It was one of four medals for the Tigers, who surged into second place in the team standings with 98 points, trailing Cathedral Prep’s 121 team points.

Along with the champion relay, Kozloski placed third in the 50 freestyle with a 21.02 and Baltrusaitis was right behind him in fourth with a 21.09. Donegal’s Colton Houck won the gold medal in the event with a time of 20.72.

Tunkhannock’s fourth medal came in the 200 medley relay in which it placed sixth in 1:38.44. Schuylkill Valley won in 1:34.53.

Meanwhile, Iannone placed second in the 200 IM with a time of 1:53.07, more than a second better than his preliminary time of 1:54.31. He placed sixth in the event last year. Northgate’s Sam Cavanaugh won the race with a time of 1:49.23.

The Cavaliers 200 medley relay team also swam in the consolation final, placing 15th with a time of 1:41.65.
