Good evening everyone,

Although it was a long drive, the Mylan Aquatic Center was a very nice venue to hold States in this year. Plus, I consistently saw a lot of camaraderie and smiles from our benches too. Which, of course, is always nice to see. :)

Many of our swimmers posted personal best times, finalists finishes, personal goals met, team records set, and medals earned. Attached are the individual and relay results; the PDF of full results can be found in this link.

Of the 64 YMCA teams represented, our best showings were:

• Boys overall - 9th place
• 15-21 Boys - 5th place
• 13/14 Boys - 5th place
