The Crown Jewels of Swim Championships

Noah has not only made a splash in the pool but has also snagged an impressive trio of federation titles. Talk about a golden achievement! He was a key member of the winning 200-yard medley relay team, which included teammates James Augustin, Kean Hernandez, and Lorenzo Aquilino. They crushed the competition with a jaw-dropping time of 1 minute, 31.03 seconds.

That’s not all—Noah took home the championship title in the 200 individual medley, finishing strong at 1:46.51. And the pièce de résistance? He shattered records in the exhilarating 100 breaststroke event with an incredible time of 53.35 seconds.

Relay Team Adventures

Noah’s success didn’t stop with individual accolades; he played a monumental role in leading his senior relay group to victory in the 400 freestyle relay with an astounding time of 3:04.64. The excitement everyone felt in the pool was palpable, and Noah himself emphasized the significance of teamwork and bonding in their journey.
