Everyone in Minnesota AA swimming and diving is still chasing Edina.

For the third year in a row, the seventh time in the last eight years, and the 18th time overall, Edina captured the state championship, finishing 28 points ahead of runner-up Minnetonka.

Edina relied on depth to get it done, overcoming the lack of multiple individual victories  with 14 top-eight finishes. The team swept 2nd through 4th in the 1-meter diving event as Edward Frey, Niko Yannopoulos and Kingston Kavati went 2-3-4.

Pengxu Lor of Champlin Park claimed the 1-meter diving title with 536.30 points.

The lone individual win for Edina came from senior Patrick Curran in the 100 back. A Boston University commit, Curren claimed the title in a personal best time of 47.97.

The individual standouts were Rochester Mayo sophomore Kai Joyner and St. Cloud Crush senior Micah Davis.

Joyner won the 200 free in 1:35.03 and the 500 free in 4:20.78, which at the time were both personal best times. He has since bested those marks, clocking a time of 1:34.91 in the 200 free and a time of 4:17.75 in the 500 free at the NCSA Spring Championships.

Davis won the 200 IM in a personal best time of 1:46.22 and the 100 fly in a time of 47.01.
