National Age Championship Qualification Congratulations to Taylor Wachtel for performance and tenacity in qualifying for the 100M F/S at the upcoming National Age Champs. Taylor swam this event twice last Saturday at a National Qualifying Meet and then again as a split in the 200M F/S on Sunday morning. She finally made the qualifying time in her 4th and last attempt at the 100M F/S less than 10 minutes after finishing the 200M F/S race!
