5th Annual National Age Group Team Challenge held at the Germantown Indoor Swim Center Nov 12-13.

In Div 3 news, Andrew Wilson, a jr at Emory, took out his own 100 br record in 51.72, previous record was 53.41 which he set in December. He would have been 3rd at div 1 ncaas last year and is 9th fastest recorded ever!
This one blew my mind. Four 13 year olds swam under 1:00 in the 100 *** at the NW AG Regional meet in Federal Way last weekend:

Guess that answers the questions in this article: www.swimvortex.com/.../
