NC State commit Aubree Brouwer swam a 2:10.58 to win the 200 breast, highlighting the first night of the 18 & Under Winter Championships in Lee Summit, Missouri.
Brouwer’s time knocked off almost 4 seconds from her previous best of 2:14.12, which she swam at the 2020 AR TYR Thanksgiving Finals, just a couple of weeks ago. That time also bumps her to #22 all-time for the girls’ 15-16 200 breast.
Also posting some fast times on the girls’ side was Springfield Aquatics’ Kate McCarville. The Tennessee commit posted wins in the 200 IM (1:58.86) and 200 fly (1:56.63). Her time in the 200 IM marked her first swim under 2 minutes. She also took off over two seconds from her previous best time of 1:58.75 in the 200 fly.
On the boys’ side, Inspire Swim Team’s Nate Germonprez swam a 1:45.41 to win the 200 IM. That time took off over three seconds from his prelims time of 1:48.63, which was a personal best. That time also ranks him #11 all-time for 15-16 boys in the 200 IM. Germonprez has now taken off almost 6 seconds from his previous best of 1:51.35 in the 200 IM at this meet alone.

Covid-19 is raging in many states, including Missouri. How can they call this a “championship meet” when pools are shut down in some states and some swimmers have not been able to properly train? Where is the equity?
I think Nate swam the 11 fastest time ever in the 15-16 age group for the 200 IM
