Incoming Hempfield senior Gavin Mayo will begin his final high school season as an All-American.
Mayo was selected to the All-America prep team by the National Interscholastic Swimming Coaches Association of America by virtue of his time in the 50-yard freestyle.
Mayo posted a mark of 20.73 seconds at the WPIAL finals last winter, which landed him in second place behind North Allegheny’s Mason Gonzalez. Mayo’s mark is the fourth-fastest in the event at the district meet.
Mayo finished fourth at the PIAA Championships with a time of 20.81.
