    For Bryce Mefford, competing at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics is summed up in one word, “unbelievable.”

    The Oak Ridge High School graduate is set to make his Olympic debut in Tokyo next week. Mefford earned his spot on the U.S. Squad in the 200-meter backstroke event. It’s something his parents are still trying to wrap their heads around.

    “We’re beyond proud obviously,” said Roxanne Mefford. “I can’t say that I’ve soaked it in. 

    Scott Mefford said Bryce making the team was a surprise.

    “I like to say I’m more happy for him because he’s done a phenomenal job,” Scott said.
