Piranhas USA Team Starts Long Course Season

Our USA Team started its long course season in a big way in the "BIG" pool. On May 2-4 we had 11 of our 55 USA team members take the trip to Lancaster PA for the Trident May Maelstrom Long Course Meet held at F & M University. We swam away with 13 Junior Olympic times and 7 Middle Atlantic All Star Zone Times, and 15 team records.

The meet had swimmers from all over the region from as far away as Virgina.

Attending the meet was Olympic hopefuls such as Ian and Jaffery Clark (Both YMCA National Champions and NCAA Champions) and Leah Gingrich from West Shore YMCA (YMCA National Champion and Record Holder). (Click Here to view PFY Results)
