Jr. Nats East | Drew Kibler Doubles Up 4:14.4/19.5 Freestyle Wins
Results & highlights from day two finals of the 2017 Junior National East Swimming Championships in Knoxville, Tennessee.
After a quick relay session Wednesday, the first full day of competition kicked off at the 2017 Speedo Winter Junior National Championships East in Knoxville, TN, on Thursday night.
Events on the docket included the 500 freestyle, 200 IM, 50 freestyle, and 400 medley relay.
The star of the show was future Texas Longhorn swimmer Drew Kibler. The Carmel (IN) senior showed off his impressive range with wins in the 500 free (4:14.42) and 50 free (19.57). The 500 was a new championship meet record and both were lifetime bests. There is no doubt Kibler is going to fit right in with UT coach Eddie Reese in Austin, Texas, next season with that sort of skill set.
On the women's side, the Walsh sisters of Nashville Aquatic Club picked up a pair of back-to-back wins. First up, older sister Alex Walsh ran away with the 200 IM in record-breaking fashion thanks to a 33.6 breaststroke split en route to a final time of 1:54.02. Just minutes after, younger sister Gretchen Walsh — who threw down a 21.01 Wednesday night anchoring NAC's 200 medley relay — won the 50 in 22.00.
Check out the rest of the results below.
