We only have between four or five boys. So it's tough filling some of the events. We do have 14,15 girls, so that gives us the advantage of putting a strong swimmer in each event.

We have to be strong for young boys.

the nation's young men have
been proved by surveys to be completely unmarriageable, and as a result there's a whole
generation of single girls like me with their own incomes and homes who have lots of fun and
don't need to wash anyone else's socks.

Jenna was just looking for regional qualifying times. She's concentrating on the 50-yard freestyle this season. The 100-yard butterfly isn't an event she wants to do at states.

It's a big step for Jake. His 100-yard fly time was phenomenal. He led the first half of the race before another swimmer pulled ahead. He also had a real strong race in the 100-yard freestyle. He was still riding the high from his time in the 100-yard fly.

Meredith moved up two places, she was previously ranked eighth. Her ultimate goal is to make the top 16 at states.
