(pictured L-R are Maddy Delore, Alexa Lum, Julie Truong, and Catherine Boles)

The Long Course Junior Olympics, held July 20-22 in Concord, CA was an exciting meet for the Islanders, from watching Islanders swim at the Junior Olympics for the first time (10-under swimmers Ashley Hendrawan, Audrey Tran, and Ian Ordinario, and 15-16 Karina Li), to huge improvements in time (Juliana Cardenas dropped 16 seconds in 200m Breastroke, and improved in all three of her breastroke events) to new Far Western and PRT* times (Ian Ordinario, Aaron Chu, Aaron Clavin, and the 13-14 Girls Relays composed of Catherine Boles, Maddy Delore, Alexa Lum and Julie Truong), to veteran Junior Olympians swimming well (Anthony Oreshkov, Catherine Boles, Maddy Delore, Alexa Lum, Ben Krause, and Morgan Truong), and finally, to the return of Galen Lam.

[*PRT = Pacific Reportable Time. Achieving this time standard in an event places a swimmer in the top 5% of all the swimmers in their age group in that particular event in Pacific Swimming.]
