Stratford swimmer amazed at Phelps' Olympic performance
Wednesday August 13, 2008

It would be simple enough – not to mention completely accurate – to title Hunter Bayley an incoming senior at Stratford High School.
“Aspiring Olympian,” “Junior National qualifier” and “world traveler” also are acceptable – not to mention completely accurate.

The Cypress Falls senior held the lead throughout the 200 free (1:37.39) and 100 butterfly (48.97) by, as he put it, keeping himself under control and not going too hard.

Thursday October 11, 2007

They did, doing exactly what they needed to secure a 79-68 victory.
