When the Open Water portion of the Pan Pacific Championships in Australia were cancelled due to poor water quality, they were moved to Hawaii during the Jr. Pan Pacific Championships. After an extra week of waiting, we finally have our winners of the 2014 Pan Pacific Championships.
As was announced yesterday during the technical meeting the junior races to determine the 2014 Jr. Pan Pac standings were swum simultaneously with the rescheduled senior races. The men started first, and the women were sent off 10 minutes later. The course was 6 loops of a 1.66 kilometer course that was laid out in a triangle.

Great job to most of the Americans!
Wonder if Seal Innovation is going to change their training, disband, or start praying more?
So looking over the senior results and it’s like Pan Pac pool swimming where you can only have two per country in the top eight unless too few nations enter athletes? Results seem to indicate that Becca Mann actually finished third but was relegated to 9th, and I’m guessing that was why.
