Pickerington North swimmer Jaron Schwartz was selected the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center Boys Athlete of the Week for March 9-15.
A four-time state placer, Schwartz registered the most points for a North swimmer at the state meet and was a member of the first relay team to place at state in school history. At state, he finished eighth in the 200 medley relay, 200 IM and 100 breaststroke and 20th in the 200 free relay. He had four first-place finishes (200 medley relay, 200IM, 200 free relay, 100 breaststroke) at the OCC meet. At sectionals, finished second in the 200 IM, third in the 200 medley relay and fourth in the 200 free relay and 100 breaststroke.
