This year’s state team consists of 9-year-old Kellan Krance, 10-year-olds Alexis Day and Carolyn DeLuca, 12- year-old Jacob Bisek and 16- year-old Katie Pattee.
Swimmers earned their way to the state competition with a state-qualifying time or winning their respective event at the Minnesota Long Course Regional Championships (MRCs), held July 19-21 in Mankato.
"I’m very proud of how our swimmers performed at MRCs," says Chuck Webb, Neptune Aquatics head coach.

Neptune swimmers will compete in a variety of events. Participating swimmers, along with their prequalified events, are as follows:
