A ton of best times, meet records, club records and new cuts highlighted the weekend.  We had new swimmers, old swimmers and college swimmers at the meet - and they were all a blast to watch.  Please see the updated star patch list below and along with the results from the meet.

Great job at the meets this past weekend. At Level 1s, we continued our strong swimming and had a ton of season bests.  Highlights included Jarod Arroyo winning High Point and Heather Cistola earning runner-up for High Point.  At Frosty Frolic, our newer swimmers had a great showing -- for some it was the first time in the water.  Great job at this meet -- 31 participated. Our next opportunity is in January -- so be sure to sign up!  Go AAAA

NOTRE DAME, Ind. - Notre Dame women's swimmer Emma Reaney got the OSU Invitational off to a bang on Friday morning as the freshman shattered the school record in the 200 individual medley, lowering the mark to 1:58.47. The NCAA B-cut time broke the previous mark held by former Irish great Katie Carroll, who went 2:00.09 on March 8, 2007 at the NCAA Championships. The time also qualified Reaney first in the event, over two seconds faster than her closest competitor. RESULTS
