Highlighting night one of competition in Auburn, Alabama was 17 year old Collin Holgerson of Swim Atlanta. Holgerson swam to a new lifetime best in the 100 backstroke clocking a 55.19. That improves upon his previous best time of a 55.56 that he swam earlier this month to finish 25th in the event at US Summer Nationals. Holgerson entered the season with a lifetime best 58.60 from summer 2023.
Danny Schmidt swam to a 1:49.95 in the 200 freestyle. Schmidt represents Germany at the international level and just finished his junior season with Auburn. He holds a lifetime best 1:48.54 in the event that he swam at last year’s European Championships.

Night one on the girls side was highlighted by 14 year old Salem Bahr of Ensworth Aquatics. Bahr swam to a win in the 100 breaststroke, touching in a 1:11.04. That was over a second drop from her entry time of a 1:12.46 and moves her into the top 100 all-time in the age group as she sits at #37.
On night two, Bahr touched first in the 13-14 200 breast swimming a 2:32.45, dropping almost four seconds off her lifetime best. That moves her to #31 all-time in the 13-14 age group. She also was outside of the top 100 in the event entering the meet.
