Triangle swimmers, with the women leading the way, produced top-10
finishes and a variety of junior- and senior-nationals qualifying times
during the highly competitive Charlotte UltraSwim meet held Thursday
through Sunday and hosted by the Mecklenburg Aquatic Club at the
Mecklenburg County Aquatic Center.

In the top individual finish, Duke Aquatics' Ashley Twichell, 20, was
seventh in the women's 1,500-meter freestyle in 8 minutes, 53.54
seconds, a time that qualifies her for the U.S. senior nationals.    

The YMCA of the Triangle Area's men's 400-meter freestyle relay team had the top finish among Triangle competitors.
