GREENSBORO, N.C. – On the final day of competition at the AT&T Winter Nationals the Dragons once again recorded season-bests and Kyle Lukens advanced to another final.
"It was a great weekend to be a Dragon. Many had season-best times and we had our first final swims at Winter National, which is a great building block for the program," said Adam Braun.
The Plymouth Meeting native made the 'B' final in the 200-yard butterfly after qualifying 12th in the perlims earlier in the day with a 1:47.18. The 1:47.18 is the fastest time this season for the junior in the 200. In the final Lukens finished fifth with a 1:47.92.
"Kyle is a prime example of when you work harder in practice you swim faster at meets. He has been rewarded with a great first half of the season," said Braun.
Joel Berryman set a new season-best with a 45.85 in the 100-yard freestyle in the first event for the Dragons. Berryman shaved .37 off his fastest time this season. The New Zealander is the first Dragon to go sub-46 in a mid-season event.
Rachel Bernhardt followed suit in the 200-yard breaststroke with a season-best of 2:18.08 after swimming a strong final 50. Bernhardt finished 47th of the 85 swimmers in the prelims.
The Dragons have the remainder of 2014 off and return to the pool in 2015 when they travel to Knoxville, Tenn. on Jan. 2-4.
