The Summer Olympics in Tokyo will be held later this month and Seward's own Lydia Jacoby, a 17 year-old swimmer will be a part of the team. She's the first swimmer from Alaska to make the Olympic team. We've seen these signs all over town. To say they're proud would be a gross understatement. She had the second-fastest time in the world this year in the 100-meter breaststroke meaning she'll be in the hunt for a medal. Probably a good reason she missed yesterday's Mt. Marathon Race after having participated the last four years. We'll be cheering for her too.
