Patriots go the Distance

It was an awesome Distance Time Trial today. It's always great to see young athletes tackle the distance events with aggressiveness. Thirty-five of our swimmers embraced the challenge and had a blast achieving new times, reaching some personal goals, and counting for their teammates. 13 proved to be a lucky number today:  thirteen Team Records were broken and thirteen Championship times were achieved, including five JO swims and three Zone Qualifying cuts. A special Kudos goes out to our youngest swimmer, eight-year-old Brendon Chen, who braved the 500 Free for the first time. Way to Go, Brendon!!
