The final individual event of the night, the boys 100 breast, held one of the most exciting events of the night as lane one showed its power. After barely making the A final in the boys 100 breast, Austin Rednour of the Gaston Gators sailed to the top of the podium from lane one with a time of 1:04.57. Rednour took out the first 50 more than half a second faster than anyone in field and was able to hold off an encroaching Keefer Barnum from Lakeside who finished in second in 1:08.80. Kentucky Aquatic’s Michael Summe finished in third with a 1:05.43 holding off his teammate Benjamin Slate. Rednour’s ability to hold on after a fast start will truly be tested with “the journeyâ€, the 200 breaststroke, on Sunday. Barnum, Summe, and Slate are scheduled to join him, among many others, through what many agree on as the toughest event.
If Rednour’s outside smoke wasn’t the most exciting event of the night, then it was the first event. The girls 400 freestyle finals charged the Greensboro Aquatic Center with energy that lasted through the evening. Kentucky Aquatics’ Geena Freriks and Kendal Casey, two of the most decorated swimmers at the Speedo Sectional Championship in Greensboro so far, battled with Lakeside’s Brooke Forde down to the last 10 meters of the 400 meter race. Though all within a tenth of a second at the 350 mark, Freriks pulled ahead to finish first in 4:15.18. Casey touched second in 4:15.33, and Forde hit the wall third in 4:15.96.
