Two girls set PR’s in the 50 Freestyle. Maddy Moorman and Macy Braden took: 03 and: 04 seconds off their previous best. Hicks shaved another: 07 seconds off her 500 freestyle time and two girls improved their times in the 100 backstrokes. Slocum dropped by 09 seconds, and Ashlee Smith improved by 05 seconds.
