Congratulations to Zander Auth, Milly Birch, and Bruce Qian for their standout performances!

- Milly raced to nation-leading times in the 11-year-old 400 IM (second fastest), 50 butterfly (fifth fastest), and 100 butterfly (seventh fastest).
- Bruce broke two AGUA team records in the 50 and 100 butterfly events including the oldest mark in our record books! He also earned high-point honors for 11- and 12-year-old boys including gold medals in the 50 and 100 butterfly and the 50 backstroke.
