Take a look at all meet final results on our Team Stats website or click here for our previous meets results page1 or results page 2.
Irvine Grand Challenge, May 24–26 Pierce Dietze travelled up to the Irvine Grand Challenge to compete in the 50 meter backstroke. He had also qualified for events on Friday but didn't want to miss school (good decision). Pierce swam a best time in prelims which qualified him 4th going into finals. He dropped another 1.23 seconds in finals to move up to a 3rd place finish! His final time of 32.59 is a USA Swimming AAAA time and is worth 774 Hytek power points! He also broke his own team record. Once he learns to stop looking for the wall, he'll really be competitive! NCA AB All Ages LC, La Jolla JCC, May 24–26 Locally....at the NCA AB long course meet in La Jolla, 8 of our swimmers competed in 50 races Friday, Sat, and Sun. 38 of those swims were lifetime bests! 5 new Junior Olympic qualifying times - Jensine Bugelli in the 100 breast; Nico Ivanov in the 50, 100, 800 frees, and 100 breast.
