JP Fiset Recap

It was a great weekend of racing! Lots of fast swimming from everyone in the group. Highlights come from:

Matt Whiteside achieved his first A time in the 50 meter breatstroke and narrowly missed his A times in the other 2 breast stroke races this weekend.

Liam Strocher and Allison Hender each earned their QT's this weekend as well. Liam achieve both his 200 IM and his 400 Free time standards this weekend. Allison also achieved her first ever QT in the 400 free on Sunday, this was her first 400 free as a member of the Silver Tide Swim Club. It has been a great year for Ali and this is only another step to great achievements.

Sierra achieved her 14 year old 400 free QT this weekend with a 15 second best time.
Aaron and Willow also in their first year of year with Silver Tide missed their QT's in both the 200 IM and 400 freestyle this weekend. Lauren narrowly missed her 13 year old QT as she ages up after short course trials. Piper also inched closer to her 200 IM QT as well.

It was a fantastic weekend with tons of best times and great swims right throughout the weekend. I will add more once we get the results in! Good luck to all those continuing on to PCS on the weekend.
