Today swimmers took to Bucknell University in Lewisburg, PA. for the Middle Atlantic LC Sr. Championships.

At the 350m mark, Abruzzo was behind Matthew Stasiunas (who came second in the 100m freestyle earlier tonight),but managed to pass him coming home by swimming a 28.50 last 50. Abruzzo was about two-and-a-half seconds shy of Evan Pinion’s 13-14-year-old age 400m freestyle age-group record from 2009. That time tonight for Abruzzo was a personal best by over 10 seconds.
With that time Abruzzo is currently the top ranked 14-year-old in the United States in the 400m freestyle.

Someone at the meet reading this tell the timing table to get the real time results working. We have exposure on this site with the age group times which MA would like to have and let’s show MA can do it right. This is something not to be ignored.
Oh yes! Please, fix the live results.
The Hy-tek meet result format is so 2000’s.
Meet mobile is more 2010s, but still doesn’t have all meets, can only be accessed via smart phone, and requires loading a new page to look at every event/split.
I feel like there is a real opportunity out there for an entrepreneuring swimmer-geek to create a universally-used results template that is convenient AND reliable. (Swimswam.com, I’m looking at you)
Yes, it’s not the prettiest interface… but it is functional and, as a meet manager, very easy to use. The entire Hy-tek infrastructure is… interesting… but no one else (to my knowledge has managed to make significant penetration in the market yet. It will happen, as Netscape and then IE gave way to Chrome. But it’s going to be a while.
Thats my man Andrew!!!!!!! Kill ’em
Looking forward to the results for the upcoming Whitley 100 breast tomorrow. Looks like he continues to break barriers. What an exciting future for this young man !!
He swam the first 50 in 24.4 then exited the pool. Everyone was a bit surprised.
Wait- what??? He didn’t complete the 100?
Looking at the meets results… a DNF for Ryan in the 100 Fly??? Any word on that?
Mid Atlantic represent!!! Stay tuned for Reese Whitley in the 100 breast tomorrow night, hopefully he makes it 2 for 2 NAG’s!!
