Gators Throw Down The Heat At Indiana Age Group State Championship

With our largest group traveling to the Indiana Swimming Age Group State Championship meet in years, the Gators lived up to the hype, bringing the heat to the pool with many awesome swims. Against the very best in the state of Indiana, the Gators saw 2 trips to the top 8 podium for medals, 4 Gator team records fall, another handful of near record times, 3 individuals and a relay scoring points for the team for top 16 finishes, and the team finished 34^th overall in the entire state! What a fantastic meet and a great way to finish out the short course season! Highlights from the meet are below.
