Chaffee sets new state record

AUBURN #- After four days of some serious swimming in the YMCA National Swimming and Diving Championships held at the International Swimming Hall of Fame in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the Auburn Stingrays have returned home with a sense of accomplishment.

At nationals, the eight Auburn swimmers learned that facing the best competition in the country can be an intimidating experience, but it can also be a great motivator.

“There really was#n't much pressure to swim fast,” Preston Chaffee said. “I went a little slower than I expected. But other swimmers were insanely fast, there were people breaking national records there. It really makes me wonder what makes them tick to see them go so fast. But it definitely makes me want to push to be faster.”
