It was around 3:45 last Saturday afternoon and Sean MacKenzie thought his work at the Mercer County Swimming Championships was done.
The Princeton High sophomore star had won the 200-meter individual medley, the 500 freestyle, and had produced a blazing anchor leg to help PHS to a win and the meet record in the 400 free relay.
As MacKenzie packed up and got ready to head home from the Lawrence High pool, he learned he had one more task on the day-to accept the meet's Most Valuable Swimmer award.

Brittany Iacouzze had no problem flying solo last Saturday at the Mercer County Swimming Championship finals.
While the swimmers from the other schools had the boisterous support of their teammates as they competed in the din at the Lawrence High pool, Iacouzze was just one of two representatives on hand for the Stuart Country Day School.
The poised senior distance specialist, though, made plenty of noise with her performance in the water as she battled her competitors and their supporters.
