Coach Bob Rettle said “we had a bunch of good swims tonight.”

“We couldn’t be happier for Kate and her entire family,” Rettle said. “They are a dedicated swimming family. The kids contribute in the pool and their parents pour their hearts into volunteerism. Families like the Mays are what make teams like ours a real team, a true swimming family.”

Workman was only 1.4 seconds off the Olympic Trials cut in the 200 fly with a time of 2:06.51. Rettle said Workman had an incredible meet and has been consistent all year long for his team.

The same held true for Grinter, Rettle said, who placed third in the backstroke. Grinter already has the Olympic Trials time in the 100 backstroke.

Kate May, right, always volunteers at Edwardsville meets when she is not participating. The May family volunteers constantly to the Edwardsville swim program, Coach Bob Rettle said.
