It’s not every day an SCTCC student is featured in the Minnesota Star Tribune, but then it’s not every day that an SCTCC student is a state swimming record holder.
PSEO student Micah Davis is taking generals at SCTCC, and he’s been swimming since before he started kindergarten.
Now he swims for St. Cloud Tech High School as part of a swimming co-op that also includes St. Cloud Cathedral, ROCORI, and Becker. Davis holds the state record for the 100-yard butterfly, which makes him the sixth-fastest high school swimmer in that stroke nationally, and it’s possible that he may break the national high school record this year. Additionally, Davis swims for Aquajets out of Eden Prairie when the high school season is not underway.
He’s currently a junior in high school and started PSEO in the Electrical program last fall. With the amount of generals he knows he’ll need at Virginia, he made the switch to an AA this spring semester. After graduating with his high school diploma and likely an AA from SCTCC, Davis plans to head to the University of Virginia to study electrical engineering. When recruiting opened up in June, several college teams reached out to him; Virginia’s coaches and team impressed him.
Once he transfers to Virginia and swims at that level for his freshman year, there is another big possibility for him: the 2028 Olympics held in Los Angeles.
For now, he’s got another year at SCTCC and another year to break records.
