Neptune Athletes shine like the Chrysler Building

Madeline DiRado, Molly Hannis, Amanda Sims & Penelope Yamauchi traveled this past week to East Meadow, New York to compete in 2007 USA Swimming Spring Championships. Highlights included a boat trip to the Statue of Liberty and a tour of Ellis Island, dinner in Times Square and shopping in Manhattan. The swimming wasn't too shabby either.
