Four days later at the Florida Swimming Age-Group Swimming Championships (FLAGS) held at the Sailfish Aquatic Complex in Stuart, Florida, Ava repeated her performance with six best times out of six events. Ava started off her meet on Thursday night by dropping 8.79 seconds off her previous best time and placing 6th in the 10&U Girls 500 yard Freestyle (6:03.37). On Friday, Ava followed up her 500 Freestyle with a .35 second drop in her 200 yd Freestyle (2:17.07) placing 3rd in her age group, and by dropping .21 seconds in her 50 yd Butterfly (31.14) placing 4th. On Saturday, Ave continued her quest with a 2.27 second drop in her 100 yard Butterfly (1:11.58) placing 4th, and another 4th place finish in her 50 yd Freestyle dropping .30 seconds (29.12). Ava finished off her Championship meet and her last 10 and under event on Sunday with a 3rd place finish in the 100 yd Freestyle dropping .53 seconds (1:02.90). By placing in the top six, Ava earned a spot on the Florida Swimming All Star that went on to swim against the Florida Gold Coast All Star team at the Indian River State College in Fort Pierce, Florida on April 1st and 2nd.
