The USA Swimming Open Water National Championships 2024 has commenced on a powerful note, with Katie Grimes and Alex Reymond dominating the 10K event. This championship is a three-day event, slated from May 3-5, to be held at Sarasota, Florida.
Day 1 has concluded and national titles for the 10k event have been awarded to the stellar performances of the day. The event is also the qualifier for the USA Swimming Water National Team, National Junior Team, and the US roster for the 2024 World Aquatics Open Water Junior Championships.
Katie Grimes enjoyed the first event of the USA Swimming Open Water National Championships. She maintained her teamwork with Claire Weinstein and grabbed the win with grace.
"It was definitely fun. I felt like Claire and I had really good teamwork in the first half, said Grimes. That was kind of the plan to just stick together the first half and then do our own thing in the second half. I felt like we did a really good job," she said (via the USA Swimming website).
Day 2 will come up with the 5K event and the domination is expected to continue. The results for Day 1 have been released. Let's have a look at it.
