During the 400 freestyle relay, swimmers Grace Langfels, Alex Sweilem, Isabella Nunez, and Anne Berg shaved 3.44 seconds off their overall time and placed 2nd in their heat! Another swimmer, Eleanor Lorraine, finished first in her heat for 100 breaststroke. Grace Langfels also shaved 10.62 seconds off her 200 freestyle and Kayla Smith took off 17.87 seconds off her 500 freestyle.
