Time (SCRT) and she knocked off over 5 seconds from
her entry time. Simon Lamar achieved new SCRTs in the 500 Free,
200 Free, 200 IM and 100 Free, all of which were fantastic time
drops, including over 20 seconds in his 500 Free! Lily Olson's 13th
place finish in the 50 Fly was a new SCRT and
almost 3 seconds faster than her previous best time. Carley
Vaccher's 100 IM was a new SCRT and a 2
second drop.
Nine other swimmers posted lifetime bests throughout the

Free and 100 Free leading off the 11-12 Boys 200 Free Relay and 400
Free Relay. Roseryn Empremsilapa dropped in the 50
Back, 100 Back and 100 Fly. Annika Johnson also
hit best times in the Backstrokes, leading off the Girls 200 Medley
Relay with a best in the 50 and posting a best in her 100 in the
individual event. Evelyn McIlveen dropped almost a
full second in the 50 Free and took 20th place overall, just tenths
out of the Top 16. Anneliese Petitt swam best
times in both of her races -- the 50 Free and 50 Fly.
Cathryn Salladin had a great drop in the 500 Free
and also knocked half a second off of her 50 Breast time.
Nate Tingen led off both of the 11-12 Boys Medley
Relays with best times in the Backstrokes, dropping over 3 seconds
in the 100. Another 3+ second drop was turned in by
Courtney Tseng in the 200 Free. Courtney also
knocked off a half of a second in the 50 Fly. Brooke
Walker had an outstanding 50 Breast, dropping over a
second and a half from her previous best time.
Keep up the great work, FAST!
