Eight-year-old Yelena Hudgin won fourth place in the 100 back, fifth place in the 50 back, and sixth place in both the 100 breast and the 50 free. She also broke five existing records in the eight an under category at her home club.

10-year-old Annika Hudgin placed third in 200 backstroke, fourth in 200 breast and sixth in 200 IM.

Moriah Mossey, 11, Mina Hudgin, 12, and Alex Nickson, 12, all posted top 10 finishes in the 50 breast stroke while Abby Taylor, 14, posted a top 10 finish in the 50 backstroke and Faith Elsbury, 14, posted a top 10 finish in the 200 breast.
