On the same weekend, our Cal-Berkeley committed swimmer, Edward Huang, raced his first Junior National Championships at Irvine, CA(He missed last year's due to COVID). At his best event, 100 M Backstroke, he got 55.99 and advanced to the championship finals(top 8). He finished the final in 7th place.
