Then Jacob Griffin won two races of his own, going 22.44 seconds to edge Jack Cavallerano (22.58) in the 50 freestyle and, in the 100 backstroke, pulled away to take the top spot in 55.39 to the 1:01.49 from Liverpool’s James Hayden. Joey Swenton also won two races for C-NS, holding off the Warriors’ Joe Lisi, 2:05.51 to
