St. Brendan High School swimmer Zuhayr Pigot became the Class 2A State Champion in the 50-yard freestyle. His speed also earned him a runner-up in the 100-yard butterfly and the position of the overall fastest male freestyle swimmer in any of the four competing classes in the state.
MIAMI | A St. Brendan High School student was the fastest male swimmer in the 50-yard freestyle competition at this year’s state championship meet, held Nov. 14 in Stuart.
Senior Zuhayr Pigot won the state championship in the 50-yard men’s freestyle and was runner-up in the 100-yard men’s butterfly for Class 2A, but his time was the fastest of any freestyle swimmer in any of the four high school classifications (4A, 3A, 2A, 1A).
