We had many exciting races which included many personal best times, new sectional cuts, down to the wire relays and a few team records.

Some of our most notable swims include a first time Summer Jr. National qualifier, two back to back swim offs, and 4 back to back sectional B cuts.

Jack Calderwood achieved his first Summer Speedo Junior National cut in the 200 backstroke during the Championship final on the first day of competition.

Tie breakers, Clayton Bobo and Kaley Hoffman narrowly out-touched the competition in two back to back swim-offs. Both turned in personal best with Bobo going a 1:58.20 in the 200 free and Hoffman 32.31 in the 50 back.

Ellie Vincent was solid and consistent in all her events. Her best times in the 200 back, 400 free, 400IM and 200IM gave her four back to back Sectional B qualifying standards.
