BUCKHANNON — Buckhannon-Upshur High School claimed both top individual swimming awards as the Big 10 released the 2022-23 All-Conference teams this week.
Cadence Vincent was selected as the Girls Swimmer of the Year, while Preston Bennett was named the Boys Swimmer of the Year.
Both B-U seniors are headed to states this weekend after a record-breaking performance at the Region 3 meet. Vincent will swim the 50 free and 100 free, as well as the 200-yard free relay and 200-yard medley relay. Bennett, meanwhile, will compete in the 200 free, 500 free, 200-yard medley relay and 200-yard free relay.
B-U’s Alayna Whitehair joined Vincent on the Big 10 girls first team, while Reis Leonard earned that honor alongside Bennett for the boys. Owen Caynor and Carter Zuliani picked up second-team laurels for the Bucs.
