The story of the meet
A December run at the Speedo Winter Junior Championships cut. The qualifying time slipped away by a whisker — a real shame. But the improvements were massive: three personal bests, three silver-medal finals and the certainty that the cut was coming.
Three silver-medal finals — 100Y breast, 200Y breast and 200Y IM.
Key moments
Personal bests of 56.14 in the 100Y breast and 2:03.57 in the 200Y breast.
The Winter Juniors cut slipped away narrowly — it fell a month later at the Colorado Open.
Denver sits at 5,280 ft — times from 200Y up get an official altitude adjustment (−1.2 s per 200Y, −5 s per 400/500Y).
