Picard won the 50- and 100-yard freestyle events at the Tri-Valley League meet. He then finished 10th at sectionals and 16th at the state meet in the 50 free, and fifth at sectionals and 10th at states in the 100 free. He owns the second-fastest 50 free time and third-best 100 free time in school history. Noted HHS assistant coach MaryLauren Burke: “Owen, who just last year had a season-ending injury before the season even began, has done an incredible job returning to the sport, and we are very excited to see how he continues to improve going into his senior year!”

Move In Style, sponsored by Custom Home Realty’s Laura Wauters, is a weekly Hopkinton Independent feature. Each week during the school year, we will highlight a different Hopkinton High School athlete, selected after consultation with HHS coaches.
