The distance events were great, the relays were even better!!!

Early in the day, the 800 free for girls and 1500 for boys was excellent for most swimmers. On the girls side, Marisa Gorjeu had the best result, placing 7th in the girls 13-14 800 free, taking 11 seconds off her best time with a swim of 9:31.1. Also swimming the 800 in the 13-14 girls age group was Aven Preston (10:05) and Morgan Healy (10:12). In the 11-12 girls event, Taylor Padington (10:20) and Jennifer Guindon (10:21) were 9th and 10th respectively. Karlyn Healy had a great swim, making the AAA time for 11-12 girls with a swim of 10:56, over 20 seconds under her best time. Kirsten Rowbotham rounded out the girls side with a time of 9:44 in the 15 and over girls event, a best time by 20 seconds.

On the boys side, Carter Gorjeu had the best result with a 5th place finish and a time of 19:49, an excellent swim. In the 13-14 age group, Alec Page was 10th and David John Palmer was a best time by over 2 minutes with a time of 20:21.
