Congratulations to Simone Manuel, age 17, who set the 17-18 National Age Group record in the 100 free at the NCSA Jr National Championships. Simone's time of 47.09 is the fastest time ever for an 18 and under swimmer, and she is now the 3rd fastest American (regardless of age) all time.  You can watch Simone's swim  here on the Swimming World website.

Even though the meet isn’t until June 7-8, we need commitments in order to best set up the trip. Since this is the first year of this trip, lots of things are still in the works in terms of getting ironed out. This does work to our advantage, however, in that each of our teams can tailor the meet...
