Heartbreak of the meet. in the 100 back Kristen Gary (Red Tide NY) has a great swim leads at the 50 by about 1/2 second, breaks the 100 Backstroke world record then finishes second - by 0.01 second (one of the coaches said at the end of that race was the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat).
Suzanne Heim-Bowen won the 400 freestyle at 4:42.37, breaking Laura Val's World record by five seconds. Suzanne won four gold medals and one bronze and the open water is tomorrow.
Laura Val, I am fairly sure won five old medals. The 400 has not been posted yet but she swam a 4:50.56 breaking her own 400 record.
Bobbi Callison of Rinconada Masters won four golds and a silver. In the silver, Jane Asher beat her, but had to set a world record to do it.
Ken Frost won a bunch of hardware. He took all the breaststroke medals, a couple of relay golds and a couple of other top ten finishes.
It has been fun meet so far - Open water tomorrow.
