There are many Asian-sounding names in that Northwest part of USA.

Impressive swims all weekend for Ethan Dang and Amy Tang.

Check out 13 year old Will Barao, South Shore Y Strypers. This weekend he went a 15:43.61 in 1650, 4:35.89 in 500 fr, 1:42.32 in 200 fr, all best US 13 year old times for season. Then he went a 4:06.67 in 400 IM, second best in US. He will have more opportunities at that time.
