2025 USMS Summer Nationals
Day 4 of the USMS Summer Nationals in Federal Way was another memorable one! Reporting again from the field, our one and only Dan Underbrink…
Greetings TWIM and Friends of TWIM,
Seventeen TWIM Champions tore up the lanes at the King County Aquatic Center, in the fourth day of competition at USMS Summer Nationals! By my count, 18 new medals were awarded to TWIM Champions today!
The camera was not quick enough to capture everyone today, but I’ll share what we have and talk about the rest.
Holly swam the 100 Butterfly today, as well as the 200 IM, and the 200 Mixed Medley Relay. A 5th place medal in the Fly and a 2nd place medal in the relay for Holly!
Meanwhile, Keri earned a 7th place medal in the 200 IM!
Dan secured an 8th place medal in the 200 Mixed Medley Relay! Dan also had meet organizational duties (hanging up the daily heat sheets and Team Score all over the buildings) and had a meeting with the organizers for the next Summer Nationals, which will be in the Sacramento area. They are seeing what they can discover about our Nationals, that will make theirs a similar success.
