If one is talking about the great Pinellas County swimmers of all-time, the names Nicole Haislett and Megan Romano come to mind.

But after last weekend at the 4A State Swimming championships, Lexy Aitchison of East Lake may belong in that conversation.

Aitchison took first in the 200 free (1:46:68) and 500 free (4:46:68) while also leading the Eagles to victory in two relays. She accounted for nearly half (120) of her team’s 257 points as the Eagles broke up a 4-year state championship run by Sarasota Riverview.

It was the picture-perfect ending to what has been a storybook season. For Aitchison, the best inside and outside the pool is still yet to come.
