Now that the Junior National Championships are over, we can now say that the Long Course season has ended for this year.  We have had a fantastic summer with some extremely fast results.

Congratulations to both Lindsey Swartz and Kent Haeffner who achieved the very hard World Championship Trial cut in their strongest event.
