Those four swims were not her only best times. She swam to a best time in prelims of the 200 freestyle with a 2:03.56, a best time by almost four seconds. She also swam a best time by over four seconds in the 100 bresat with a 1:13.13 and earned another Trials cut with a 1:01.66 in the 100 back which is #14 in the 13-14 age group. She just missed the 400 free Trials cut that stands at a 4:15.49 as she dropped about 25 seconds with a 4:17.91 in prelims.
As a 14-year old freshman Audrey has tremendous potential and she could very well make 2 A finals at Trials this year.
Currently with Trials cuts in 6 events here is where she would have placed in prelims at the last Trials with her current best times (all but the 400 IM swum this month):
100 Fly – 26th
200 Fly – 10th
100 Back – 28th
200 Back – 6th
200 IM – 21st
400 IM – 29th
She is definitely one to watch.
Get this girl in a 4 IM!!
