Howe won the 100 fly for the second time this season.

Seth Huston: “Traveling and competing all in one afternoon was not ideal, but mission accomplished. We needed to race and rehearse our tactics and we achieved this. I was especially impressed with our milers pacing. Briana Gellineau looked the best I have seen this season and Maddy Howe bounced back this week and looked much better.”
