2019 Speedo Winter Junior Championships: Day 4 Recap


The final day of the Speedo Winter Junior Championships proved to be another exciting instance of fast swims and best times for the young athletes in the East and the West.

Josh Matheny from Team Pittsburgh (East) and Ben Dillard from the Sierra Marlins (West) both conquered meet records in the 200 breast with times of 1:52.12 and 1:54.74, respectively. Claire Curzan continued her winning streak on to the last day of Junior Nationals, claiming victories in both the 100 free and the 200 fly.

Scottsdale’s Ashley Strouse illustrated her versatility in the pool after helping her team claim a win in the 200 free relay on Wednesday, and then achieving another triumph in the women’s 500 free on Thursday and the 1650 free on Saturday. There were also double wins at this meet from Abby Arens and Jake Magahey from SwimAtlanta, Isabelle Stadden from Seattle Metropolitan, and Aiden Hayes from Sooner Swim Club.
