BNFF girls and BNFF boys beat both Brownell Talbot/Creighton/Mercy/Roncolli and Skutt
Catholic/Mount Michael. 

It has been a long while since the boys beat Skutt/Mt. Michael.  So it was exciting to see both girls and boys come away with the win.  

We didn’t see the times that we would like to see. The Brownell-Talbot pool is not a favorite to swim in. You hear swimmers say they may feel slow or fast in a particular pool. Those that swim will understand. Both Brownell and Skutt have good swimmers to help push our swimmers. Regardless of the feel of the pool, we still came away with some person best times and couple new secondary state qualifying times. 

We had 2 new secondary state qualifying times achieved by Freshman Reid Novotny in the 200 freestyle and 100 butterfly.  

BNFF had 9 First place finishes:  Girls 200 Medley Relay of Jaedyn Baxa, Izzy Scheele, Avery Baumann and Alyse Bassett; Dru Breeden in the 200 Individual Medley; Avery Baumann in 100 freestyle; Girls 200 Freestyle Relay of Avery Baumann, Izzy Scheele, Tabitha Crawford and Jaedyn Baxa; Boys 200 Freestyle relay of Dru Breeden, Noah Jacobsen, Sean Carrera and Reid Novotny; Izzy Scheele in 100 backstroke; Addisyn Baxa in the 100 breastroke; Girls 400 Freestyle Relay of Avery Baummann, Alyse Bassett, Tabitha Crawford and Sophia Meints; And the Boys 400 Freestyle relay of Sean Carrerra, James Given, Noah Jacobsen and Reid Novotny.
