Seven new team records were set at the Firecracker Invitational, with Devin Creger establishing a new time in the 11-12 1500 meter free of 19:53.97, while Anna Meinke set the female 11-12 1500 meter free with a 20:04.62. Anna also set a new 11-12 200 meter fly record, as well as a 400 meter free record. Eight year old phenom Colby Childress set records in the 8 & under 200 meter free and 100 meter back, and apparently was the first 8 year old to ever swim the 100 meter fly in the 49 year history of LY. Despite the scorching heat, Jenna Angell dropped 39 seconds from her 400 meter free and 42 seconds from her 400 meter IM. Makenzie Chenault dropped 10 seconds in both her 50 breast and 50 back. Kelsey Childress picked up an A time in her 200 meter IM, while Matthew Davidson sped to a 10 second improvement in his 100 free. Josh Hankey dropped 3.5 seconds from his 100 meter fly, while Alexis Mattingley picked up four A times: 50 and 100 back, 50 and 100 free. Ashley Mauzy improved her 200 meter fly by an astonishing 25 seconds, while Steven Mills sped to BB times in his 100 and 200 meter freestyles. Michael Murray dropped 15 seconds from a 400 meter free time he just swam a few weeks ago in Cary, while Amanda Naylor raced to a AA time in her 1500 meter freestyle. Brandon Naylor dropped a total of 150 seconds from his races and picked up FIVE 9-10 B times (even though he is just 8!) Not to be outdone, Kelsey Naylor picked up four B times in her new age group and dropped 6 seconds in her 100 free. Hannah Owen improved her 200 IM by 4 seconds, while younger brother Matthew was busy shedding 28 seconds from his 200 free and 16 seconds from his 100 fly. Alyssa Reed picked up AAA times in her 50 and 100 fly and shaved 20 seconds off her 400 free, while Jake Richardson improved his 400 free by over 26 seconds. Noah Richardson had an incredible 11 second drop in his 50 free while Ashley Sennett picked up B times in all ten of the events she swam. Campbell Smith garnered four BB times, including a 57 second drop in his 200 free, while younger sister Scarlett kept the coaches and officials happy with frozen grapes and chocolate. Chandler St. Clair improved his 200 free by 38 seconds, and picked up a B time in the 100 free and the 50 back, while CT Skorcz raced to a 15 second improvement in her 400 IM. Even though the heat made conditions difficult, almost every LY swimmer had at least one best time. Congratulations to everyone and THANK YOU to all the parents who helped make this meet possible!
