Orlando Pro Series Recap Day One

Awesome day today in Orlando.  Here is the blurb I put on Facebook:

T2 Aquatics athletes had a great first day at the Orlando Pro Series Competition.  We had 7 swims this morning, and 6 of those swims qualified for the evening finals (top 32 at this meet).   Here are the results by event:

Jack Scanlon 12th 400 IM (currently ranked 8th in the USA for 16 year olds)
Rip Lyster 15th 400 IM (currently ranked 10th in the USA for 18 year olds)
Matt Limbacher 21st 100 Breast (currently ranked 3rd in the USA for 15 year olds)
Kayla Tennant 27th 100 Fly
Erika Erndl 33rd 100 Fly (scratched final…getting ready for some freestyle!)
Bean Faunce 21st 400 IM
Shawn Lemarie 61st 200 Free

Matt and Jack went lifetime bests in their events, and everyone else was within striking distance.  

Great to see guys like Shawn and Rip go very close to Lifetime Bests, as Seniors, at this point in the season (the LCM season goes through August).  Some Seniors "pack it in" in the spring; we don't and we won't.  T2 Seniors always have great summers!   And it's clear that our Senior guys are here trying to win for themselves, while also supporting our younger athletes as they go for their great performances.  This is great for our team, and from Rip and Shawn I expect nothing less.
