Amazing Minnetonka Boys and National Record Holders share what it is like to break a National Record, State Records, and win the MN State Title. Also, check out Eden Prairie State Record Breaker Relay, and JT Larson who obliterated Mn State Records, and just missed the National Public School Record in the 500 yard Freestyle, who is off to University of Texas with Eddie Reese. Lastly, Chanhassen/Chaska Team placed third overall, had amazing relay swims, and a State Record by Junior, Jack Dahlgren in the 100 backstroke (who states he is new to the backstroke!).
