DCST National Championship Results – Day 2 Moon, Hein Shine

        On day 2 of the National Championships, Caitlynn Moon and Daniel Hein both earned National All-American honors for their performances in the 400 meter Freestyle and 100 meter Butterfly events, respectively.  Caitlynn was 3.9 seconds under her career best time.  Her time was 0.8 seconds under the previous National Record.  She finished in second place, and she was just 0.14 seconds out of first place.  Daniel was 0.6 seconds under his life best with his 7^th place finish.  Both times were new DCST team records.

        Daniel set a second team record on the day in the 50 yard Freestyle with his lead-off time in the 200 meter Freestyle Relay.  He teamed up with Michael Carlson, Holden Mackey and Dylan Powers for an outstanding relay swim which was 3.0 seconds under their seed time.  The Girls 200 meter Freestyle Relay was also good with a 0.2 time improvement by the foursome of Athena Ye, Abby Pardridge, Ashley Stark and Moon.  Athena’s lead-off split in the 50 meter Freestyle was a new team record in the 13 – 14 year old age group.

        DCST’s fifth and sixth broken team records on Tuesday came in the 200 meter Breaststroke.  Both Ryan Schultz and Jacob Bjork were under the previous team mark.  Ryan lowered his personal best time by 5 seconds in the preliminary session, and he went an additional 0.8 seconds faster in the final while placing 19^th.  Jacob’s time drop in the event was an awesome 6.4 seconds.
