Prenot makes Texas Sectional Time Standard

(San Luis Obispo, CA) - Josh Prenot had an amazing evening Friday night at the San Luis Obispo Gobbler Invitational. Going into the 1650 Yard Freestyle, Prenot was seeded at 17:44 from a meet two weeks previous. On the first day of the Gobbler Invitational, Prenot swam to a Texas Sectional Time Standard of 17:06, making the standard by nearly 7 seconds.

Coach Steve Lougee was quoted "That's a fairly impressive time for a 13-year old boy. Its all work ethic. I'm really excited to see what happens with him in the coming months."

Also swimming well in the 1650, on the girl's side was 14 year old Karen Hendrick. She narrowly missed the Texas standard, just 10 seconds off of the time. With almost 3 months left to qualify, Karen has plenty of time.

The meet continues through Sunday in San Luis Obispo.
