The Lee's Summit R7 School District is celebrating the remarkable achievements of two senior swimmers from Lee's Summit High School, Nathan Butler and Noah Reeves, who recently excelled at the state championships. Nathan clinched first place in the 100 fly, while Noah not only secured first in the 50 free but also set a new state record with his impressive time. Both athletes maintained undefeated records in their respective events throughout the season and shattered numerous school records, with Noah breaking nine and Nathan eight. Their coach, Ryan Lee, praised their dedication, stating that it is a coach's dream to work with talented athletes who are committed to hard work and improvement.
