School: Clovis West

Year: Junior

Section finals events: 100 free, 200 individual medley, 200 free relay, 400 free relay

He's qualified because: Gave up playing water polo to focus on swimming, and it paid off with medals in four events. Individually, Dwidar was third in the 200 IM (1:57.43) and tied for fourth in the 100 free (48.07). Also swam the leadoff legs for the 200 free (first place) and 400 free (second) relays teams, which posted All-America times of 1:26.29 and 3:10.33, respectively.

The word: "Omar is in the water 111/2 months, giving up water polo, because that's what he wants to do in college. As an IMer, he does not have a weak stroke. He does it all. He also has speed. He's our second fastest 50 [free] guy and that speed comes into play for us." -- Clovis West coach Steve Baxter
