(Irvine, CA) - Josh Prenot represented SMSC well on Tuesday night, winning the C final in the 400 IM in 4:23.90 and making the U.S. National Youth Team in the process. Prenot was in third at the end of the backstroke leg by a body length and took control of the race with the breastroke.

In the morning prelims, Prenot dropped from 4:28 to 4:25 to make the finals and breaking the SMSC team record by 3 seconds. The time may also prove to qualify for the Olympic Trials when the cuts are released in October.
