Ayden Dusek

Cibola junior

The lowdown: Ayden capped his phenomenal junior year with a fifth-place showing in the 100 back at the AIA Division I state meet, which was the highest state finish by any local boy since 2013. He also dove and swam two relays at state, and was the Most Outstanding Boys Swimmer at the Colorado River Championships. All told, Ayden owned the area’s fastest time in four different individual events.
