Boys' sprint relay record swum at region lasted only two weeks. Even on second shave/rest, they dropped another half second to 1:32.97. The 400 f.r. dropped four seconds and made it onto the Top Ten.The girls' relay added a bit in Austin, so their record stands at 1:44.34 - one tenth faster than '95 gals.
I've kept up the all-time top-ten lists if any of y'all want copies. I've got Keith's e-mail address. Anyone else can put their address on as a comment and I'll send it.
Before I leave B.C., I'll try to find someone who will take care of it.
