Results are posted here.

Thank you to all who participated in this event. The meet raised $2,000 for the Gale Force Fund, which provides swim team scholarships.

We also officially dedicated the new starting blocks, for which Gale provided seed money before she died. Many generous Flying Fish families added to this effort. Thank you to Gale's friends and family, and to the Flying Fish community for this lasting legacy in her honor.

And thank you to our many Gale Force meet volunteers: timers, officials and award distributors. We couldn't have done it without you!
