“When I asked head coach Jerry Johnston what swimmer stood out for him today, he quickly replied 10-year-old Tiffany Le,” race official Jerry McLain reported. “She won the 500 freestyle race, breaking the 7-minute barrier, and it was the first time she ever was entered in that race. She also took overall first place in the 100 breaststroke and second place in the 100 backstroke.

“When I asked lead pre-gold and silver coach Thomas Springer the same question, he named James Correll as a stand out, saying, ‘He is a very consistent swimmer meet to meet.’ He also noted Issac Beers.”
