Cherokee Swim Champion Represents Team USA in International Competition Grant Davis of Woodstock was among the elite American teen swimmers to be named to the USA Swimming National Junior team, competing at the 2021 FINA Swimming World Cup this fall in Berlin, Germany and Budapest, Hungary. Davis qualified for the World Cup meet by way of being the second fastest 18 and under swimmer in the 800 Freestyle event at the U.S. Olympic Swim Trials in Omaha, Nebraska, this past June. He represented the Woodstock-based Chattahoochee Gold swim club at the Trials. Before accepting a scholarship to swim and study at Auburn University, Davis was Cherokee County’s Swimmer of the Year three times while competing for Sequoyah HS. He was high school state champion in 500 Freestyle his junior year and holds several Cherokee County swim records. Aside from the Olympics, the FINA World Cup is considered one of the top ranked international swimming competitions. At the meet, Davis had two top 10 finishes: 6th place in 1500 Freestyle in Budapest and 9th place in the same event in Berlin. “Knowing that I was not only representing all of my coaches, teammates, and family back home but also my country was such a cool feeling, and definitely one I will never forget,” said Davis.
