Coeur d'Alene High School 

Cushman, a senior, won the state 6A title in the 100-yard breaststroke in 59.25 seconds, then swam anchor legs of the school's winning 200 freestyle relay and 400 freestyle relay during the state meet last Saturday at the West Valley YMCA in Boise. "Dawson is a kid who you know is going to give everything he has in every race," Coeur d'Alene coach Israel Morrow said. "He sets ambitious goals and then goes to work training until he achieves them. I've been around a lot of swimmers in my athletic career as an athlete and a coach and he is special to watch compete.
