Headlining the girls’ performances was Tennessee commit Charlotte Crush, who won the most individual events of any athlete, racking up five. She swept the backstroke events and won both the 50 and 100 butterfly. Crush opened her week with a four-second victory in the 200 backstroke (2:08.27) and a fast-turn victory in the 50 fly (26.49). She also won the 100 back (59.86), 100 fly (58.63), and 50 back (28.85). Crusgh also split a 28.47 on the medley relay, marking a new lifetime best. Earlier this summer at U.S. Nationals, she set new personal bests in the 100 back (59.30), 200 back (2:07.05), and 100 fly (58.09).

Texas commit Haley McDonald won three individual events in her own right. She swept the 400-meter events with a 4:17.92 in the 400 free (her top time this season) and a 4:51.33 in the 400 IM before following those up with a 200 IM win (2:15.66).

The boys saw plenty of standout performers as well. Evan Gluck swept the distance freestyle events, winning the 400 free (3:56.61), 800 free (8:08.57), and 1500 free (15:28.50). His 800 was nearly a four-second improvement, and his 1500 was an excellent cap to his week in the distance lanes.

Indiana commit David Kovacs also had three wins of his own. He swept the backstroke races, winning the 100 back in 55.53 (a new best from his 56.18) and the 50 back in 26.08 (.3 faster than his previous top time). Kovacs also won the 100 fly, posting a 53.99 (his first time under 55 seconds).

16-year-old Brayden Capen also doubled up, taking gold in the 200 back in a new personal best mark (1:59.02) and the 400 IM (4:21.21, over a second and a half drop from his all-time mark of 4:22.77). His 200 back was won in a tight race with Kovacs (1:59.62), the only other swimmer to drop a sub-2:00 time in the event.

Other girls’ event winners included:

Daisy Collins, 16, pulled away for a dominant win in the 1500 free (16:31.38), finishing nearly 40 seconds ahead of the field. Adalyn Biegler was the only sub-56 swimmer in the 100 free (55.56, a .02-second drop from her lifetime mark) and later won the 50 free (25.61), narrowly beating Molly Lo (25.73). Beigler led off Edina’s relay in 25.51 to set a best time from her previous 25.57 from the Minneapolis Sectionals. Emily Hamill, a Notre Dame commit, clocked 2:00.99 to win the 200 free. This was her first time under 2:02 in her career. Elizabeth Nawrocki (Georgia commit) won the 100 breast in 1:09.98 (her fastest this season), edging Brooke Corrigan (1:10.34), but was out-touched in the 50 breast by Catherine Pawlaski (32.16). Hannah Renaud claimed the 200 fly in 2:14.79. Abigail Bonham, 15, won the 200 breast in 2:29.99, her first swim under 2:32 — the only swimmer under 2:31. Academy Bullets Swim Club claimed three relay titles, including both freestyle relays — the 200 free (by 0.02 seconds) and 400 free (3:47.14), as well as the 400 medley relay (4:09.58). Lakeside’s women also picked up multiple relay victories, winning the 200 medley relay and the 800 free relay.

 Other boys’ event winners included:

Alexander Thiesing won both the 100 free (49.75) — the only swimmer under 50 — and the 200 free (1:49.99). Clark Coyle (Texas A&M commit) posted a 24.43 in the 50 fly, winning by just .09 seconds, dropping from his personal best mark of 24.59. Noah Cakir (Indiana commit) was a double breaststroke winner, taking the 100 breast (1:01.02) and 200 breast (2:12.91), with the latter touching just .3 seconds ahead of Wilson York. Both swims topped Cakir’s former top times. Boone Wilcox won a tightly contested 200 fly (1:59.24), narrowly beating Biko Hoover-Haviland (1:59.65). Wilcox shaved over a second and a half off of his lifetime best to get under the 2-minute mark for the first time. Thomas Mercer clocked a season best 2:01.98 in the 200 IM to earn his lone win on the week. Jake Tarara (Princeton commit) won the 50 free in 22.97, the only swimmer sub-23, dropping .13 seconds to break 23 for the first time. Lakeside Swim Team swept all five men’s relays with commanding performances. They went 1:42.86 in the 200 medley and held off Dads Club in the 200 free (1:33.34 to 1:33.94). Their dominance continued in the 800 free (7:31.12) with a 6.5-second margin, followed by a 3:24.50 win in the 400 free, and a runaway 3:42.57 in the 400 medley, again finishing nearly 6.5 seconds ahead of the field.
