DCST National Results - Day 2
DCST National Results – Day 2
Grant Alef led DCST again on Day 2 of the YMCA National Championships. Grant’s 5 second time drop in the 1000 yard Freestyle earned him National All-American honors for the second time in two days with his 16th place finish. His time was also a new DCST Team Record.
Alef then teamed up with Kei Ishimaru, Josh DeDina and Michael Gordon to set the team record in the Men’s 400 Freestyle Relay with a very impressive 6 second time drop. This was this foursome’s second team record in as many days.
Gordon also set two records on Wednesday, when he broke his previous team record in the 200 yard Breaststroke. In the same event, Ryan Schultz set the team record in the Boys ages 13 – 14 division with his 2.2 second time drop.
In the Women’s 1000 yard Freestyle, Caitlynn Moon had two best times while dropping 2.5 seconds. Her first 500 was faster than her previous best 500 yard time.
