Logan Schefault has impressed many. Through<br />
his win in regionals and his state win last year, he<br />
has proved himself a great swimmer. On Nov. 5,<br />
Schefault won the GAC Diving Championships for<br />
the second year in a row.<br />
“I go to practice and do my dives,” Schefault said.<br />
“I was happy [that I won.]”<br />
Schefault competed at the St.<br />
Peters Rec Plex. He swam against<br />
Francis Howell, Francis Howell<br />
Central, Fort Zumwalt and Holt<br />
High school. Schefault came<br />
in first place against the other<br />
schools.<br />
“I was very excited,” FHN swim<br />
coach Joshua Galati said. “It’s nice to see all his hard<br />
work pay off.”<br />
According to Galati, Schefault is always the first<br />
one at practice and the last one to leave. He works<br />
extremely hard to improve his swimming and diving.<br />

He works hard along with his other teammates, who<br />
were there to cheer him on at the GACs.<br />
“He works very hard,” Galati said. “He is a leader.<br />
He puts 100 percent effort in and does a great job.”<br />
Not only did Schefault come in first place, but he<br />
also broke his own GAC diving record from last year.<br />
He holds the point total of 582.8.<br />
“[I beat my] GAC record,”<br />
Schefault said. “It was exciting.”<br />
Schefault will continue to<br />
keep swimming in high school<br />
and hopes to continue during<br />
college. Galati also hopes that<br />
Schefault will continue to swim.<br />
He sees a lot of potential in<br />
Schefault’s swim and dive career.<br />
“I think Logan is going to have his choice of where<br />
he wants to go [in the future] because he is that<br />
good,” Galati said. “He’s not just the best of the state,<br />
he’s one of the best in the country.”<br />
