“It was a nice drop in the finals for Kate in the 200 butterfly and the same for Bailey in the 100 free finals,” Coach Bob Rettle said. “Kate moved from her 14th place prelim finish to 10th; Bailey moved from 15th in the prelims to 10th in the finals.”
Overall, Rettle said his team had a blast at the Y Nationals. For May it concluded her time competing in the YMCA Swim Nationals because she is an Edwardsville High School senior; Grinter is a junior.
“It’s our second favorite place to swim other than Chuck Fruit Aquatic Center,” Rettle said. “It was a great team effort and atmosphere for us for sure. It was also a great end to a great season.”
