Dickinson swam a 1:02.51 to lead the team to a win. That was just off her best time of a 1:02.10 that she swam in June and sits at #24 in the 13-14 age group all-time.

Dickinson also led the team off to a win in the girls 13-14 400 free relay. She swam a 57.50 lead off leg, a personal best as well. That time earned her another US Open cut and sits just outside the top 100 in the age group all-time. The team earned the win in a final time of a 3:59.86 to win by over 8 seconds.

Also highlighting the girls side of the meet was Stanford commit Alana Berlin who swam to a three wins in the 15 and over age group. Berlin won the 50 back in a 28.91, the 200 breast in a 2:40.90, and 50 fly in a 27.19. She also swam a personal best of a 26.41 50 free during a relay lead off for Schroeder YMCA.

The boys side of the meet was highlighted by 14 year old Max Garbacz of Madison Aquatic Club. Garbacz swam to a win in the 100 back with a 58.32, just off his lifetime best of a 58.32 that he swam in July. He also swam the 100 freestyle in prelims, swimming a personal best of a 55.54.

Other Highlights:

  • Minnesota commit Livi Wanner swam to a best time of a 25.50 in the 50 freestyle, winning the 15 and over age group. Wanner’s previous best was a 25.55 from May. She time trialed the event at US Olympic Trials in June swimming a 25.83.
