Congratulations to Alicia and Simone

Congratulations to Alicia Finnigan and Simone Manuel who traveled to Mesa for the April segment of USA Swimming's Grand Prix series. This was an extra-exciting Grand Prix, as it featured the return of Michael Phelps to competitive swimming.

Alicia made finals in the 200 fly (13th) and 100 fly (30th), and she recorded best times in the 200 free (1.6 seconds), 200 back (7.3 seconds!), and 100 breast (1.1 seconds). Simone had multiple finals swims, finishing 6th in the 100 free, 8th in the 50 free, 12th in the 200 IM, 20th in the 200 back, and 22nd in the 100 breast. She had best times in the 200 IM (.9 seconds) and 100 breast (3 seconds).

FCST will not participate in the May Grand Prix due to our high schoolers' busy exam schedule, but the team will return to the Grand Prix circuit in June.
