For the ninth time in the last ten NAC brings home the Southeastern Swimming Championships bringing the total to 36. The margin of victory was over 1100 points with the girls besting everyone by 800 points and the boys carrying the largest final tally as well by 237 points. Leading the way in the 10 and under girls was Erika Giuse with a new Southeastern Record of 1:04.63. Erika was also runner up for the 10 and under high point behind teammate Annie Kyriakidis and the 10 and under girls were runner up in the age group high point as well. 11-12 girls won the age group high point in their division with Sophie Pilkinton leading the way as the individual high point. Pilkinton recorded victories in five of her seven individual events. Chatham Dobbs also claimed individual high point for the 11-12 boys winning the 100fly, 100back, and the 50 fly. The 13-14 boys claimed age group high point and the 13-14 girls was runner up for their age group high point. On the girls side Michelle Chintanaphol achieved her first NAC travel standard in the 400IM with a time of 4:30.94 and Anna Grainger was named runner up in the individual high point despite only competing in six events instead of the maximum seven. In the senior age groups NAC continued what had been an awesome fall and winter season by claiming the women’s age group high point and finishing runner up in the means age group high point. Perhaps no event illustrated the quality of swimmers on the NAC squad better than the Men’s 400 medley relay where NAC recorded a one-two finish, showing the quality and depth that the team has in each stroke. Standouts in the senior age groups were World Championship trials cuts achieved by Caroline Reeves (2oo breast) and Megan Goss (1000 free). Sam Sloan also swam to his first team travel cut in the 200 IM and new Junior National time standards were recorded by Goss, Deidre Jones, Garrett Keirns, and Chase Lovelace. Below are some more of the outstanding performances by NAC swimmers over the weekend. Congratulations swimmers on another awesome performance and continued dedication to being the best in the LSC.
