Good lord Zach Mendez! Already the 500 freestyle 5-1A record holder, Mendez just broke his record from a year ago by almost 9 seconds! A 4:23.97! That's insane!
Oh yeah, the Lansing senior also broke the 200 freestyle record earlier in the day. Wow. Just Wow!
You know him for what he does on Sundays, but his efforts reach further than the football field. Thank you for all that you do @tkelce 🫶
