“It was a really good meet,” Fadeef said. “I was really excited to get back in the water and have an actual meet because we have not been able to do that. 

“I think it went pretty good.”

“Today was a new starting point for me,” Steckler said. “It was good to get back into swimming again. 

“I was just trying to get in the pool and get some reps in to get some good times and set some benchmarks for me.”

Manteca’s Abbey Kadillak was second in the 100 butterfly (1:24.66).

“We did pretty good for only having one week of practice,” Kadillak said. “It was a good start. 

“We have some room for improvement, but overall it was a good day.”
