Short Course Champs III, our champs meet for our 13 and overs, was held on March 1st – 3rd at the Don Cook Natatorium in Sugar Land, TX. This was a prelims/finals competition, with the top 24 swimmers in each age group advancing to finals. Of those in finals, the top 16 swimmers scored points for their respective teams.
