Final Day Age Group State meet

With another hot, humid day, The Desert Thunder age group swimmers continued to have great performances on the final day of competition at the 2010 LC Age Group State Championships.

Starting off the fireworks was the 10 and under boys 200 Free Relay of Archie Spindler, Tanner Komlodi, Finnegan Lynch and Gabe Rangel who crushed yet another team record by swimming under the old record by over 10 seconds! The Boys relay placed 7th overall.

Two more team records fell in the 50 backstroke events. Sierra Bigelow sprinted her way to a third place podium finish and a new team record of 34.75. Several heats later, Abhishek Rajadas raced into 2nd place, repeating his team record performance from the morning prelims. Finnegan Lynch also returned to finals to place 10th in the boys 10 and under 50 backstroke.

In later events, Ellinore Duncan also moved into the big finals, finishing 7th iwith a lifetime best swim in the 11-12 girls 200 breaststroke. Diana Gomez also returned to finals in the same event, and moved up into 14th place to score points for the team.  The girls 11-12 200 free relay placed 13th overall.

Overall, eight new team records were set this weekend for Desert Thunder Aquatics. Great job and congratulations to our age group swimmers!
