WHAT A WEEKEND!!

Congratulations to both EC & JD, who swam best times at their biggest meets of the year so far.
EC - 24.0 & 51.7, will swim again next week (rested & shaved); extremely impressive, bettering her previous best time by .6 - before shaving!
JD - numerous best times at the Toyota Grand Prix, including 9:55, 55.3, 4:47 & 16:48, but by far the biggest swim of his weekend was the 200 Fly in Finals (his first Finals at a major meet). After qualifying 23rd in the morning, several scratches moved JD up into the Consolation Final, where he ripped off a 1:56.98 to finish 11th overall!

CONGRATULATIONS to both of you, keep up the good work!

EC
