Great Work at the LIE Fall Classic!

Congratulations to our athletes who competed at the LIE Fall Classic at Hofstra University in Hempstead, NY! Our swimmers raced to many personal best times, qualified for the age group championships, and more.

Great work to Bruce Qian for establishing a new AGUA team record in the 11- to 12-year-old 50 butterfly with a time of 25.36. This time lowered the mark previously set in 2017 and is also the top time in the country so far this season!

In the national rankings, Bruce is joined by Milly Birch (who ranked third in the 50 backstroke and seventh in the 100 backstroke) and Mayrah Johnson (who ranked fifth in the 50 butterfly).

The AGUA coaches would like to extend a special thank you Matthew Hong, Gebran Kastoun, and Hugo Novaro Cortijo for standing out as RAD teammates at the meet. These athletes exemplified our team values of respect, accountability, and discipline.
