Emily's time is extremely fast. Fallon swam her fastest time of the season and had a good race.

It seems like every time she swims that race she sets a record.

Unfortunately, Nikki was competing when her health was not very good yet but still put out a good race.

The time standards for this meet are much greater than the sectional meet. Emily continues to step up to achieve greater time standards which allows her more opportunities to swim with other swimmers across the country.

I hope that residents of Aberdeen and surrounding areas will come watch South Dakota's best competition of swimmers and see what competitive swimming is about. People across the state are excited to compete in Aberdeen's new pool.

Emily did not swim her fastest times but qualifying for the finals is a great achievement.
