Whitefish Bay Masters coach had this to say “Our Whitefish Bay Masters has only been an official Wisconsin Masters workout group for a year, to have this kind of results in this time is outstanding. They work very hard at 5am and for many of these swimming is not their main focus. I have a lot of triathletes and runners who are seeing a lot of success as swimmers. I want to congratulate all our All America and National top 10 ranking swimmers.

World Rankings in these events are due out in April.
