EKC Last Chance Re-cap

Rebecca Lewis

(We still do not have official results from the Lincoln Capital City Classic meet in late June. I typicallly like to send these re-caps in order but would also like to move on with the season. I will get those out as soon as we receive the file.)

 

Forty-six Hammerheads took one last chance to qualify for end-of-season meets at the EKC Last Chance Meet in Lenexa July 8-9. It paid off as the team swam to 159 best times and collected 28 new Districts cuts, 23 new Bonus cuts and 21 new Champs cuts.
