Mask a state champion

By Michael Butler

The Tallassee Tiger Sharks swim team had 41 competitors at the state championship meet in Albertville and returned with a state champion. Camden Mask was the winner of the boys 13-14/50-yard breaststroke.

"It felt unreal," Mask said of his first state title. "Coach Donna (Funderburk) pushes us and wants us to win every race. She has coached me for eight years now and has always believed I could do it."

Mask was also third in the boys 13-14/50-yard butterfly. His aspirations are for the recreational league success to transfer to his Tallassee High School swimming team where his father John is a coach.

"I want to win a high school state championship in breaststroke and help my other teammates win a team championship."

Tallassee's Crockett Moyers just missed another state championship in the boys 9-10/50-yard butterfly. Moyers was second. He won the 8-and-under butterfly in 2019 and the 6-and-under freestyle in 2017.

The Tigers Sharks were 14th overall among 25 teams.
