Muskego Swimmer Competes On National Level

Joe Szczupakiewicz, who won the 500-yard freestyle at the WIAA state meet, placed 19th at the USA Swimming Open Water Championships.

A Muskego resident and WIAA state champion took his talents to the open water May 19.

Joe Szczupakiewicz finished 19th out of about 50 swimmers at the USA Open Water Championships in California May 19. He also took fifth among swimmers 18 and under, according to Muskego NOW.

As a junior, Szczupakiewicz won the 500-yard freestyle and placed third in the 200-yard freestyle at the WIAA state meet.

The national open water competition was a bit different than school meets, however—it was held on Lower Castaic Lake in Castaic, Calif.
