HEAT’s Kaii Winkler named state’s Mr. Swimming. Plus basketball, soccer and wrestling results

Kaii Winkler of South Florida HEAT was named the 2022 Florida Dairy Farmers Mr. Swimming, following voting by a statewide panel of prep swim coaches.

Winkler, a junior who was earlier named the Class 1A Boys’ Swimmer of the Year, won the 100-yard freestyle in a state record time of 42.52 seconds. That is a national 15-16 age group record, too. He also recorded a state record in the 200 free (1:34.18), breaking the mark of 1:34.69 set by Olympic gold medalist Caeleb Dressel in 2013.

Erika Pelaez of South Florida HEAT was named the Florida Dairy Farmers Class 1A Girls’ Swimmer of the Year. She is a junior, too.

The Florida Dairy Farmers High School Sports Awards program exemplifies Florida Dairy Farmers’ commitment to the state’s youth. This is the 31st year of these awards honoring the state’s top athletes and coaches in all 30 FHSAA sanctioned and recognized sports.

The program also emphasizes to young people the importance of keeping dairy products a primary part of their diet in their overall nutrition plan.
