It was a good meet for SV5B swimmers at the Boise YMCA 2007 Spring Fling Invitational, May 18-20 in Boise.
SV5B's Racheal McGinnis, 16, led her team with one gold in 50 fly, silver in 50 free, (breaking a pool record) and bronze in 100 and 200 free.
Her teammate, Samantha Sutton, 10, placed second in 200 IM and 100 fly, and Kaedi Fry, also 10, grabbed second in 50 back, third in 50 fly and 100 fly.
The meet, which hosted almost 500 participants, is the largest meet of SV5B's year-round schedule, and constitutes the first long course meter meet of the season.
