Andrew Torres of the Jeffco Hurricanes has a chance to sweep the butterfly events, as he enters the meet with the fastest 100 fly (54.69) and 200 fly (2:01.16) times.

Tualatin Hills will be well-represented on the women’s side by University of Tennessee standout Michelle Cefal and Stanford sophomore Grace Carlson.
