All swimmers competed in all strokes, and some for the new events. Great swims and drops, with consistent places earned them all these winning awards!
With all these great performances, Aiden Lee was our "SWIM OF THE MEET" winner. AIdan swam in seven events, tackling on his first ever 200 Breaststroke on Saturday. This made his 100 Breaststroke the following day so much shorter. He was able to apply a faster tempo and improved technique to drop 18 seconds in the event. Way to go Aidan!
ESC had many standouts of best times! Layla Scollan swam the most---all SIX! Including 57 seconds faster in the 500 Free, and 14 seconds improvement in the 100 Fly. Swimming FIVE personal bests were: Grace Ablondi (including -8 100 Back, and -15 100 Free), Ethan Brelsford (-31 100 Fly, -15 200 Free), Henry Bump (-16 200 IM), and Gabe Brelsford (-36 500 Free, -9 100 Breaststroke).
