Alexis qualified in 8 events: 50 Free, 100 Free, 200 Free, 500 Free, 50 Back, 50 Fly, 100 Fly and 100 IM. She competed in 7 events and swam finals in everything except the 100 Fly. Alexis finished 2nd in the 50 Free with a AAAA time of 25.62. On Saturday she placed 10th in the 200 Free with a 2:06.38 after dropping over 4.5 seconds in prelims and placed 6th in the 50 Fly with a 28.84. Alexis also placed 6th in the 50 Back, 8th in the 100 Free, and 10th in the 100 IM.
Daniel qualified in the 2 breaststroke events: 50 Breast and 100 Breast. He swam his best times in both events, dropping 2.2 seconds in the 50 Breast (47.42) and a whopping 5 seconds in his 100 Breast (1:34.80). This boy was on fire!
As Alexis' last meet as a Barracuda, what a send off it was! We couldn't be prouder of her development and success as a YMCA Barracuda, and we wish her the best of luck with her swimming in North Dakota.
