TEAM UPDATES

GREAT WORK AT SENIOR METS!

 

Congratulations to our swimmers who competed at the 2025 TYR Summer Senior Metropolitan Championships in Long Island, NY! Our athletes achieved numerous breakthrough performances, personal best times, and new qualifications for Junior Nationals, among other notable accomplishments. 
 
AGUA came home with runner-up honors in the Women's team scoring, as well as third-place for Combined and Men's Team. Veronica McCall led our women's team tally with 56 points, while Adam Wu led the men's team with 64.5.
 
Our individual results were highlighted by Jonathan Packles setting a new Metropolitan Swimming Record in the 15-16 Boys 50 Backstroke (26.93). Jonathan also set a new AGUA Team Record in the 15-18 and Open 200 Backstroke (2:03.41). Xan Randolph joined him as an individual Team Record breaker, as Xan broke the 13-14 Boys 800 Freestyle (9:00.63) and 1500 (17:03.50) Freestyle marks.
