Bailey Hartman from the Crow Canyon Country Club Sharks scored 98 points in six individual events to top the girls’ leaderboard for the High Point Award at the 2023 U.S. Summer Junior National Championships.
Hartman began with a fourth-place finish in the 200 fly on Day 1, finishing in the middle of a tight pack with 2:11.38, just off her lifetime best but still well under the 2024 Olympic Trial cut of 2:13.69. It was her third race of the day, as she also competed in the 800 free heats between the prelims and finals sessions. There, she notched a PB of 8:48.59, improving her time by 15.5 seconds, and coming in 11th overall.
On Day 2, Hartman won the 100 free, leading from start to finish, and clocking a Trials cut with 55.13. With a 55.94 in prelims and her 55.13 in finals, she dropped 1.47 seconds from her previous PB of 56.60.
Hartman was at her peak on Day 3, when she was runner-up in back-to-back events. After finishing second in the 400 free with a 4.8-second drop to go 4:10.59, she came with .10 of the 100 fly title, getting touched out by Tess Howley, 58.99 to 59.09.
Hartman earned her third silver medal in a row on Day 4, when she dropped 1.8 seconds to crack the 2:00 barrier for the first time with 1:59.23 for second place behind Madi Mintenko, who broke the meet record with 1:58.07.
Hartman competed in heats of the 50 free on Day 5 but scratched the final to focus on the 1500 free, which she swam for just the second time in her life and clocked in at 16:52.49 for 11th place.
Se also swam on all five relays (but relay points do not count toward the individual High Point Award).

Wahoowa!!!
Impressive!
future hoo✌🏼💙🧡
Her 2 free will be seriously fast in the future. Her 4:33 at winter juniors was probably the most overlooked swim of the meet because she finished behind all 3 Sandpipers😭
It’s crazy how multiple age-groupers would’ve won the 500 at NCAAs this year. I think 5 were faster than the winning time (not taking anything away from the NCAA champ by any means). The NCAA mid-distance for women is going to be a lot stronger in the next few years.
Speaking of which, there is one school for Katie Grimes to declare. An opportunity of a lifetime to train with Katie Ledecky and Bobby Finke.
Or the college teams aren’t doing the work you need to go under 4:30….
No hate…but you can only do so much in 20 hours.
20 hrs, it’s cute that you think they only do 20
Most are only doing 20. You would be surprised.
