The Carrollwood Village Swim Team also sent Abby Forman (12) and Logan Ingerick (10) to the Florida Swimming Age Group Championships (FLAGS) March 13-16 at the Selby Aquatics Complex, in Sarasota. At the FLAGS meet, formally known as the Florida Swimming Junior Olympics, a total of 974 athletes age fourteen and under from 62 swim clubs competed over a four day period for state championships in a new hybrid single age format. Under the new format, the Ten and Under age groups stayed the same as previous years where they swam timed finals during the morning session, but new to this year’s meet, the Eleven and Twelve, and Thirteen and Fourteen year old age groups swam a combined morning preliminary session and separated into single age groups for Finals.
At the meet, Ingerick swam in the 10&U boys division where he scored in all six of his individual events and placed in the top eight in three. The 10 year old Berkeley Prep student began his meet on Thursday swimming the 500 yard Freestyle in personal best of 6:01.29, finishing 5th overall. He also went on to swim personal best times in his 200 yard Freestyle (2:18.36) 5th place, 100 yard Freestyle (1:04.29) 7th place, and 200 yard Individual Medley (2:41.32) 9th place and was 11th in his 100 yard IM (1:15.88).
