Kelsey Drake, a two-time silver medalist at the 2013 girls state swimming meet, has transferred from Cedar Rapids Jefferson to Linn-Mar and is now competing for the Lions, according to an article in Tuesday's Gazette. Drake placed second in the 200 IM and second in the 100 butterly as a freshman at state last year.

Drake has moved into the Linn-Mar district and is eligible immediately.

She told The Gazette that she changed schools because her club team coach, Brian Ruffles, now works at the new Linn-Mar Aquatic Center. She said she also was attracted to Linn-Mar by its new facility.
