The 2009 US Junior N
ational Championships are taking place in Federal Way, WA. Ashley Brewer from the Best Swim Club is swimming in this meet. I tried my best to get her tapered and ready for this meet the last two weeks in Miami and the Keys, so all her hard work during this season can pay off. It look as Ashley had a good meet so far. For complete results of the meet, please go to the Star Meet site.
