do and we knew he could do it – I expect to
see him place at NCS. As for Erikson, that
was the best I’ve ever seen him swim. He’s a
great swimmer and I’m very proud of him.
Making NCS as an automatic was huge for
him – he’d fl irted with it the last two years
and he fi nally got it.”

Buffy Ajimura was the only Lady Lion to

second in both the 50 and 100 free with
times of 24.96 and 54.58, respectively.
“I was very proud when I saw what the
scores were. I knew we’d qualifi ed a lot of
kids into the fi nals, but we qualifi ed even
more than I thought we would,” said Liberty
head coach Erica Pantle. “I thought
we’d get four girls in the top 16 in several
events, but several of them stepped up and
did really well and got into the fi nals, and
that helped with the scoring situation for
sure.”
