Drew Hilsmier represented Wake Aquatics at the 2026 Speedo Junior National Championship in Irvine, California, competing in the 100 FR, 100 BK, and 50 FR!

Drew’s 50 FR nearly qualified for finals, just 0.06 away from getting a second swim at the biggest 18&U meet in the country.

His new personal bests set in the 50 FR and 100 FR now stand as new Wake Aquatics 17-18 AND Open Team Records!
