Note from the Photographer: “The Summer Sectionals in Santa Clarita was a challenging swim meet to pull off because of record rains and lightning.  But in the end, the meet admins and volunteers pulled it all together and all races were successfully completed.  A number of swimmers achieved Olympic Trial cuts, and the overall speed of the swimming was blazing fast.”
