At English nationals, Theo continued his busy schedule with the 400 and 200 freestyle, 100 and 50 breastroke and the 200 back. Both Theo and Rocco qualified for the 100 breastroke final! We had more finals this week with Lois in the 400 IM final, Rocco in the 50 breastroke final (achieving a PB!). Lois also achieved a PB in the 50 fly and was on PB pace for the 200 IM.
Erin raced the backstroke triple, laying down solid swims - we are very proud!
This nationals was also special because we two swimmers on their national debut! Both Ela and Ayan qualified for the 200 breastroke, an amazing achievement for them both and we now look forward to next season.
This meet also gave us a double national champion and quadruple national medalist with Ava racing the 200, 400, 800 and 1500 freestyle. Ava became national champion in the 800 and silver medalist in the 1500. After some very tight finals, Ava managed to come away with gold in the 200 free and silver in the 400 free. We are insanely proud!!!
We also wanted to give a shoutout to Nicholas, Vinnie and Triston who came to cheer on Ayan! We love to see the team spirit, this is what it’s all about!
