Saturday morning trials started great, with 3 lifetime bests in the 200 Back. Man-Drew placed first with a very controlled 1:50 and Max with a well swum 1:52 to place 5th. Drew also swam a personal best and squeaked in at 16th with a 1:57.
The 100 Free and the 200 Breast were a little off for us today but we still managed to place a tired Juan Moliere in finals(he'll be ready tonight he claims!) and Nate and AJ in consols. Nate looked great but missed his 50 wall and came out at a stand still. I think we'll see a 45 out of him tonight. Brian Schmidt, fresh (or not so fresh) off his 1100 yard race day, managed to squeak into finals of the 200 Breast with a lifetime best 2:07. Weaver swam a strong 2:08 but just missed the top 8 and is in tenth for tonight.
Then we picked up speed as Mike Berthaume swam to the top seed in the 200 Fly with his best ever 1:52...he swam it a little too hard the 3rd fifty and was just holding on at the end but should be a little more controlled tonight. Tim Smith churned to a lifetime best in 1:54 for 7th while senior Derek Castellana finalled in 6th place with another 1:54, just ahead of Tim.
Tim has to do the mile this afternoon then we start the evening session with three milers in the final heat: Brad Sloan, Tristan Partridge, and defending champ Justin Brooks!
