16 year old Charlotte Crush swam to two wins on night 1 of competition in Indianapolis. Crush first won the 200 back in a 2:10.29 before winning the 50 fly in a 26.48.

Crush just off her lifetime best in the 200 back of a 2:09.71 before that she swam at this meet a year ago.

Later in the session, Crush swam a 26.48 in the 50 fly, just off her best of a 26.18 that she swam for the win a year ago.

After a best time in the morning, Brayden Capen moved up the 15-16 boys rankings in the 200 back once again as he clocked a 1:59.49. That time now sits at #10 in the all-time rankings. Capen’s old lifetime best prior to today stood at a 2:00.34 that he swam at this meet a year ago. That swim sits at #2 all-time for the 13-14 age group.

Annam Olasewere earned the win in the 100 free touching in a 56.24, half a second off her best time of a 55.74 that she swam at US Summer Nationals. Olasewere will represent the US next month at Junior Pan Pacs in Australia.

The boys 100 freestyle was a close race this morning with 4 boys separated by 0.05 seconds this morning. Tonight, Devin Dilger earned the win touching in a 50.52. The Florida commit has a best time of a 49.62 that he swam at Spring NCSAs. After leading prelims, Alex Thiesing was 2nd in a 50.58.
