Lee Scharf and Andy Miyares both of Florida ended the Long Course season in the USA breaking each one more record. Lee broke his record in the 100 meters Breastroke and Andy broke his record in the 400 meter freestyle.
 
Lee and Andy are ready for Portugal and together with their team mates of TEAM USA are looking forward to the Championships in Portugal. Andy and Matt Jensen want to say HELLO to William B. from Australia, Peter form South Africa, Clinton from Australia, and Ricardo from Mexico. Looking forward to see them as well as all the other swimmers who they met in Ireland.
