CSC Summer Invitational 2010 Highlights

ACAC certainly had a GREAT meet in Columbia, MO. As a team, we claimed the 3^rd place overall, which is quite an achievement considering the level of competition and the fact that we outscored very strong teams which had more athletes than us at the meet. We were outnumbered, but our swimmers made up for that with quality!

Individually, our swimmers broke 14 club records, and had over 68% of best times (an awesome percentage for any meet, much more a mid-season one!). Here are the individual highlights:

James Bentley (Age Group 3): six best times, 4 of which are new BB times (100 and 200 free, 100 back, and 50 breast) and 1 of which is a new B time (50 fly);
