R
oman Sandler made history
at the Division 1 boys state
. swimming meet. The Walled
Lake Northern High junior won the
100-yard breaststroke in a personal-
best and school-record 59.36 seconds.
Thanks to the victory, Sandler became
the 4-year-old school's first state cham-
pion in any sport. He's also the first
swimmer from a Walled Lake high
school to win a state swimming title.
But Sandler didn't feel like doing
cartwheels after the monumental race.
"Even though Roman had the swim of
his life, he didn't celebrate Northern
coach Michelle Caie-Brandon said.
"He was very humble."
. That's because Sandler actually
finished second. He was awarded
first place after. winner Jason Lintjer
of South Haven was disqualified for
doing a dolphin kick on a turn. The
kick is allowed in the Olympics, col-
lege and club swimming, but not in
high school competition.
"I felt really bad for Jason because
he's a friend I met through swim-
ming," Sandler said. "He told me
before the race that he Was going to do
a dolphin kick so he could set a state
record, and I told him not to do it. I
would have swum at least a second
.faster if I would have done that kick?'
Lintjer swam 57.38 in the pre-
lims, just .24 off the state record of
57:14 set in 2004 by Grant Burtch of
Holland. Sandler's time in the prelims
was 59.33.
Sandler could relate to Lintjer's'pain
because he was disqualified for doing
the same kick at the Western Lakes
Activities Association meet, wiping
out a victory. The only difference is
Sandler didn't do the kick on purpose.
"Roman and I felt terrible after he
was disqualified at the league meet;'
Caie-Brandon said. "But ultimately,
what happened helped him win a state
championship?'
Sandler also was 11th in the 200*
IM in 1:57.82 at the state meet, help-
ing Northern finish 18th in the team
standings.
This wasn't the first time that
Sandler was involved in a state
championship. He was an important
member of Birmingham Groves' 2004
Division 2 state champion team when
he was a freshman.
Sandler started swimming for
Northern as a sophomore after his
family moved to Commerce Township.
A year-round swimmer since he
was 9, Sandler is a member of the
Livonia-based Bulldogs Aquatic Club.
He's also is a tri-athlete, competing in
that sport during the summer months.
"Roman is a successful swimmer
not only because of his talent and
competitive drive, but his knowledge;'
Caie-Brandon said. "He understands
the physics of the sport. He knows
not only how to move his body in the
water, but why."
