Sobolewski was both the 2018 and 2019 Ohio High School State Championship Division I runner-up in the 100 yard breaststroke – dropping almost a second from 55.17 as a sophomore to 54.27 as a junior. He was also a state champion as part of St. Xavier’s 200 medley relay as a junior, as the St. Xavier team roared to its 40th overall boys’ swimming state title.

In March of 2018, Sobolewski grabbed headlines when he broke the Keating Natatorium Record in the 100 yard breaststroke. That record was set 38 years earlier by swimming Hall of Famer Glenn Mills.

Outgoing USC senior Carsten Vissering finished 2nd at the 2019 NCAA Championships in the 100 yard breaststroke (50.30), and junior Mario Koenigsperger was 13th. The Trojans are graduating a huge portion of their breaststroke group, but will reload in the next 2 years. That includes the #17 recruit in the class of 2020, Ben Dillard, who has already been 52.7/1:56.2. They’ll be preceded next season by Ryan Peterson (56.5/2:05.8).
