Garrett Dunn (10) had a phenomenal race. He placed second in the 100 butterfly and then could not be stopped as he raced to first in the other eight events, cutting 13 seconds from his 50 fly (37.92) and either cut time or swam close to personal records in the other events.

Meranda Carter (11) swam three seconds faster to place third in the 100 back (1:32.65). She placed fourth in the 200 free, with a 2:43.79, six seconds faster than her personal record

Paulina Gralow kept out in front to win four first place events in the 200 fly, 200 IM, 100 free and a drop of over a second in the 200 free (2:26.05). Wind and rain couldn't stop her as she came in second in the 400 IM, as well as the 50 free, 100 fly and 200 breast. She came in third in the 200 back and 100 breast.

Anna Thorell (14) swam the grueling 1,500 free in the wind and rain to finish fifth at 22:07.39, then came back the next day to place fifth in the 200 breast and 100 fly.

Eric Mann (14) led the pack in the 100 free (59.83) and placed second in the 100 breast, 200 fly and 200 IM. His significant faster times he credits to his coach.

"Mike (Brosnahan) had been working with us on some new ideas and I focused on that movement. It felt so natural," said Mann.
