ORLANDO, Fla. - The energy and excitement inside the Orlando YMCA Aquatic Center was palpable Thursday as the 2016 Sunshine State Conference Championships kicked off. Though not as many record breaking times were set on the four-day meets first day as in years past, the action was nonetheless lively.
Day One Finals
Top performances:
Saint Leo’s Pawel Trenda broke the seal on record-breaking performances, narrowly clipping his own championships record in the 200 individual medley with a time of 1:46.87, just a hundredth of a second quicker than the previous mark. Trenda’s swim was the lone record breaking performance of the day. Three new top times for the year were set on the women’s side. Marisa Barton cruised to a 23.03 in the 50 freestyle, while Alli Crenshaw timed in at 10:08.82 in the 1,000 freestyle. Nova Southeastern capped the top times, taking the 200 medley relay in 1:42.95.
