Trevor Layne continues to show off his skill in the pool.
The Seymour senior clinched the Hoosier Hills Conference title in the 100-yard breaststroke on Saturday at Bedford North Lawrence High School with a time of 1:00.43.
That mark was more than two seconds faster than the second-place finisher from Madison.
Not only was it a conference-winning time for Layne, but it was a second-and-a-half faster than his entry time of 1:01.98.
It was the lone conference win for the Owls, who finished fifth overall in the team race with 121.5 points.
Floyd Central won the meet with 380 points. Following them were: Bedford North Lawrence (274), Madison (147.5) and Jeffersonville (130). Rounding out the team scores: New Albany (112) took sixth, Columbus East (107) was seventh and Jennings County (36) was eighth.
Layne also finished seventh in the 50 freestyle with a time of 24.10 seconds.
In the relays: the Owls took fifth in the 200 medley, sixth in the 200 freestyle and fifth in the 400 freestyle.
