that’s amazing but i’ve seen 14 year olds go 1:02s
Narvid wasnt in the same heat as Danny.
Goodness. I see that Destin Lasco swims at that meet. I was afraid he would go to Irvine with only one long course meet under his belt this year. 2 is not enough at all but it’s still better than 1.
Join the discussion…Limited Long Course Meet in the area, not enough long course pools. For many of the swimmers at this Meet it is there first time swimming in a Long Course Meter Pool this year. The swimmers going to the one of the National Meets (JR or Futures) in a few weeks are not tapered for this Meet. Some are still able to drop time. Great swims.
