Top 14&U Swimmers Unite At ISCA Elite Showcase Classic
The ISCA Elite Showcase Classic is coined by founder and current president Doug Fonder as the 14 and under National Championships, and you better believe this meet lives up to it's name. With most age groups requiring AAAA times to earn a second swim in finals, this meet will be an exciting one to watch. It is also important to note that records in both the men's and women's meet are held by some of the fastest current swimmers in the country, including Michael Andrew, Sydney Pickrem, and Becca Mann to name just a few.

Below are some key swimmers to keep a look-out for as the meet unfolds:

On the women's side...

Zoe Skirboll of Racer X Aquatics -- Zoe is a defending record holder in multiple events across the 10 and 11 year-old age groups and will look to assault the record books for the 12 year-old age group. She is currently close to or seeded under record times in the following events: 50 breast, 100 breast, 50 free, 100 free, 100 IM and 200 IM.

Chase Travis of Nation's Capital Swim Club -- home to many current and former dominant swimmers, including ​Katie Ledecky. Chase is a past record holder in the Women's 12 and under 500 and 1000 freestyle as well as the 200 and 400 IM. Look for Chase to attempt to challenge Becca Mann's distance freestyle records from several years ago.

Abigail Kappeler of Aquajets Swim Team -- the same club team as ​Rachel Bootsma​, Olympic gold medalist and three-time NCAA Champion for Cal. Abigail is seeded well under the Women's 13-14 year old 100 back record with a 54.94.

Meghan Lynch of Greenwich YWCA -- Meghan is an outstanding breaststroker and IM'er who holds records in the 12 and under age group in both disciplines. Look for her to torch the Women's 13-14 year old 100 and 200 breaststroke records this meet.

On the men's side...

Brett Feyerich of Nation's Capital Swim Club -- Brett is an outstanding sprint backstroker who will challenge the existing men's 13-14 year old 100 back record of 50.51 from 2014.

Josh Zuchowksi
 of Flood Aquatics -- Josh is a top seed and record threat across the men's 11-12 year old age group. Look for Josh to challenge records in both the 200 backstroke and 200 IM.

Cohen Osborn of Edwardsville YMCA -- Cohen is one of the top 10 and under athletes in this meet. Look for him to go for the 10 and under sweep in the Men's 500 freestyle, as he attempts to add to his 9 year old age group record with the 10 year old edition.

**Keep in mind that records on the Men's side of the meet will be very difficult, as many are NAG records or close, set by Michael Andrew back in 2013 and 2014**
