(Mar. 3, 2011) - Broad Run High School senior Mark Sarman finished his brilliant Spartan career last weekend with a state title swim of 50.12 in the 100-yard fly as well as a runner-up finish in the 200 IM at the VHSL AA state meet in Christiansburg.

Mark Sarman: State Champ

"Mark was shooting for a meet record (in the 100 fly), which he missed by .2 sec. Mark has had a great swimming career at Broad Run," said Spartan coach Beverly Kelley. "I'm excited to see how well he will do at Georgia Tech -- he keeps getting better.

The Briar Woods High School girls showed great depth to finish third overall with 173 points behind winner Western Albemarle (217) and runner-up Hidden Valley (211). On the boys side, Freedom was eighth with 95 points and Broad Run, which lost valuable points while being disqualified in a relay race which the Spartans had tied for the top time in prelims, took ninth with 89.

The Falcons girls had two strong relay finishes with a second in the 400 free and a third in the 200 medley. Sisters Alli and Kristin Haufler were in on both relays as well as a pair of top eight finishes for both.

Alli Haufler was second in the 100 fly (56.63) and third in the 200 free (1:54.92). Kristin Haufler was sixth in the 100 free (54.63) and tied for seventh in the 50 free (25.23) with teammate Caleigh Hensley.
