Andrew Hinds - 18th in 25 free
Natasha Hinds - 19th 50 fly

I also wanted to congratulate those swimmers who won special awards, presented and chosen by the coaches for their improvement, talent, or dedication/hard work during the season.  It took Blake and myself a long time to decide on some of these awards, and we almost wish we could have given most of the team awards!!
