He also dropped seven seconds in the 800 free, moving into 21st all-time in the boys’ 13-14 age group, and went 4:02.99 in the 400 free (after setting a best time of 4:03.26 in the prelims) to rank 30th all-time. The Saint Petersburg Aquatics product came into the season with respective personal bests of 4:09.16, 8:28.33 and 16:08.65 in the 400, 800 and 1500 free, and had lowered his 800 free PB to 8:28.12 a few weeks prior to Fort Lauderdale.
Penelope Lopez-Casula, 15, Eagle Aquatics (FG): Also competing in Fort Lauderdale, Lopez-Casula rocketed up the all-time rankings in the girls’ 13-14 age group after setting a pair of best times in the sprint free events. The Eagle Aquatics member, who has notably aged up and turned 15 in the days since the meet, broke 57 for the first time in the long course 100 free in the prelims, clocking 56.74, and then went sub-56 in the final, touching in 55.88.

Two days later, she put up a time of 25.83 in the final of the 50 free, lowering her previous best of 26.11 to move into a tie for 17th all-time in the 13-14 age group.
