Over 600 swimmers on nine different Lamorinda swim teams ranging from age 3 to 8 years old gathered at Meadow Swim and Tennis Club for the 43rd Annual Mini Meet on July 14.
Six-year-old Grant Kurtz from Meadow broke the meet record for the boys' 6-and-under 25-yard freestyle, finishing in 16.19 seconds. The meet record of 16.50 seconds was set in 1972 by eventual Olympian Matt Biondi. In the same race Bronzen Trunzo, from Miramonte, tied Biondi's record.
"We are so excited for Grant," said Mini Meet co-chair Mallory Samora. "To break such a longstanding record held by a two-time Olympian is an incredible feat."
At the end of the day, the first place trophy went to the Sleepy Hollow Legends for the third year in a row. Orinda Country Club came in second place and Meadow Swim and Tennis Club took third.
