Any coverage on the A-5AAAAA meet?
Your winners list for the men’s is incomplete. Patrick Cusick and Alex Taylor tied for the 200 IM and 400 freestyle relay also ended in a tie between Northveiw and Alpharetta according to the meet results
AHS Raider: Thanks for letting me know. I overlooked that when I was picking through the results.
If you look at Auerbach’s 50 Free split he would have won the 50 free as well. Incredible night for this young man.
Just an FYI I think you guys have Auerbach’s prelims 200 time, he actually went 1:37.0 at night. Those first two splits were insane- 21.2/23.9 for a 45.1 going out but he certainly did not make it all the way through at that pace haha
Thanks for letting me know. It should be updated now.
