Bolu Ojo Finals at Spring Derby!

Bolu Ojo led the way at the KING Spring Derby in Federal Way. Bolu was the only Marlin that made the finals, in the only prelims-finals event, the 50 free. Bolu ended up 5^th in that, and also tallied top 10 finishes in the 100 free-7^th, and 8^th in the 100 back and 50 fly. Ava Thompson also had multiple top 10 finishes: 1500 free-2^nd, 400 free & 200 back-7^th, 100 back-8^th, and 200 free-9^th. Allen Pringle took: 3^rd in the 50 breast, 5^th in the 200, and 9^th in the 100. Ben Clark was 4^th in the 50 back, (Thanks to his using his head, effectively, on the finish), 5^th in the 200 breast, and 9^th in the 50 free. Jacob Christy was 8^th in the 50 breast, and 9^th in the 200 breast & Fly. Layne Kopischka was 3^rd in the 50 breast and 10^th in the 200. Alora de Vera was 5^th in the 50 back, and 9^th in the 50 fly. Anna Paul took 8^th in the 50 and 200 breast. In the 50 fly Asher Wilson was 4^th, Ryan Christy 6^th, and Sophie Plano 10^th. Katherine Carlson added a 9^th in the 50 back.

Kadie Whall scored 4 best times at the meet and Ava Wright had 3. Gavin Plano also swam well.

Ava Thompson qualified for PNS Champs in 4 events at the meet, Allen Pringle hit 3 PNS Champs times, Jacob Christy had 1, and Ben Clark added his first PNS Champs time. Three Marlins made the Champs times but will age up before the meet and thus are not qualified: Bolu Ojo, Layne Kopischka, and Alora de Vera.

This was a great showing for our first Long Course Meet of the year!

Way to go Mighty Marlins!
