After a number of qualifying events and a very competitive semi final event, the ANA Synchers advanced 5 routines to the final round
of competition at the eSynchro US Age Group National Championship meet in Oxford, Ohio, June 23-30.

The Synchers placed two teams in the top 10 in their respective age groups. In 18-19 competition, the team took home a sixth-place finish
for their Fiesta themed team routine. Team members include Ashley Cohen, Jessica Mancini, Kelly Mahoney, and Faryn Shiro of Andover,
Meaghan Arsenault and Maggie Conlon of Methuen, Stephanie Garcia Restrepo of Billerica, and Charlotte Gorski of Manchester, NH.

Garcia Restrepo swam her way to two individual silver medals, one for technical figures, and one for a dramatic solo performance to music
from The Last Passion of Christ. She also teamed with Conlon and Cohen for a seventh-place trio finish. Conlon and Cohen rounded out the
18-19 competition with a 9th place duet performance.

The Synchers' 16-17 age group team also placed in the top ten, earning a 9th place finish with a routine set to a medley of Big Top music
favorites. Team members include Amber Blum, Rebecca Ely, Emily Ingram, and Hannah Straus of North Andover, Sheila Cremin,
Erica Potts, Emily Stone of Andover, and Claire Rudder of Sudbury.
