Last Time Out

Six Owls from four different countries competed in the Toyota U.S. Open from Nov. 30 - Dec. 3 in Greensboro, North Carolina. The meet offered them a chance to qualify for their national teams. The weekend was highlighted by Rateb Hussein's qualifying for the 'B' final in the 100 fly (54.28), where he finished with a time of 54.37. Hussein is set to swim for the Egyptian national team from Dec. 22-28.
