Malden High’s Hailey Tran 11th at States in 50 Freestyle
By Steve Freker
At the MIAA Division 1 State Championships, the Malden High girls finished 16th overall statewide. In the 200-yard Medley Relay, Malden was 18th in the field with a best of the year time of 2:04.92.
The 200 Medley Team included sophomore Joslyn Nguyen for the backstroke, sophomore Hailey Tran for the breaststroke, 7th-grader Sophie Tran for the butterfly and junior Tiffany Pham for the freestyle lap.
Coach Bisson said Sophie Tran, Malden’s youngest competitor as a rising 8th-grader, improved her times considerably. “It was also great to see a large group of teammates on hand to support the swimmers competing in the States.”
Hailey Tran was Malden’s highest finisher in the State Meet, placing 11th in the 50 Freestyle dash with a time of 25.82 seconds. In the other individual events, Hailey Tran was 21st in the 100 Freestyle (58.23). Sophie Tran’s personal best time of 1:05.36 was 19th in the 100 butterfly.
