Great meet for our 12 and Unders at the NE 12 and Under Championships at URI this weekend.
Elise Campbell's 50 breast was a best time, 37.3. Abby Mullen dropped 2 seconds in her 100 fly, going a 1:10.3. Ricky Churchill finished 17th in New England in his 100 fly, clocking a 1:14.6.
Shelby Rader made a conscious decision in her 100 back to stop going the same as her best times and smash an event. She went a 1:09. Now in championship mode, she swam her 50 back in 31.8 seconds, qualified for the consolation final at night and improved on that time at finals, finishing 15th in the event.
Maggie Barry's 100 fly, possibly the swim of the meet for us, was a 5 second drop, finishing in 1:21. She continued her great meet, dropping 3 seconds in her 100 free with a 1:07. Maggie came ever so close to the elite "under 30" club in the 50 free, finishing in 30.08 seconds. That was good for 12th in New England. Then she dropped over a second in her 50 fly, going a 35.5.
Shelby Rader, Elise Campbell, Abby Mullen, and Julie Coen started us off with a one second drop in their 400 free relay, going a 4:21. The 10 and under 200 medley relay team of Emily Lochran, Brooke Mullen, Maggie Barry, and Olivia Zelvis took a second off their combined seed time and finished in 2:34. The 9-10 girls 200 free relay team of Olivia, Maggie, Angela Harrington, and Cari Librett chocked up a 14th place, finishing in 2:16.1.
