Dani Cramer led the J-Hawk Aquatic Club, in top performances, at the National Club Swimming Championships, this past week, in Orlando, Florida.  This is one of the largest 18&Under meets, in the country, with over 1600 swimmers competing from around the country. 

Dani set 2 new team records and made it back to finals in the 100 back and 200 back.  She set new team records in the 50 fly (25.63) and the 100 fly (56.55). 

Dani’s first finals swim came in the 200 yard back, where she finished 25th, with a time of 1:59.43 (out of 195 racers).  For her 100 back, she placed 34th and did a 55.56 (out of 222 racers).

Other J-Hawk swimmers included Young Liang, Ella Houwers, Brianna Zimdars, and Gaby de Moya-Cotter.

All the kids had strong swims and raced hard.  We had lots of best times, too.  The girls qualified the 400 medley relay and got to compete in the 200 medley relay, too.  This was a big accomplishment, for our small team.

Best Times:
Dani Cramer:  50 fly, 50 back, 100 fly, 200 back, 200 IM, 200 medley relay
Gaby de Moya-Cotter:  100 fly, 200 medley relay
Ella Houwers:  50 back, 50 fly, 200 medley relay
Young Liang:  50 free, 100 breast, 200 breast, 50 fly, 50 back, and 100 back
