All American Honors

The National Interscholastic Swimming Coaches Association awarded All-American ranking to one individual and two relays for their swims last season.  Amy Prestinario was automatic All-American in the 200 IM (2:04.24 - 47th in the US Public School Division), 500 Free (4:57.48 - 78th) and the 100 Back (58.10 -109th).

In addition, both of our state free relays, comprised of Heather Gardner, Erin Lab, Vanessa Hendrix and Amy Prestinario, also turned in automatic All-American times at Evanston: 200 free relay in 1:37.89 (63rd) and the 400 free relay in 3:32.46 (45th).  For more information on the All-American program and for the 2007- 08 time standards go to the NISCA website at http://www.niscaonline.org.

State Champion

Amy Prestinario was a double state champion in the 200 Individual Medley and the 500 Freestyle last November.  She also anchored both free relays as NC finished in 10th place at the state meet in Evanston.
