Applin won de 50-yard freestyle with a time of 20.99 and the 10-yard butterfly with a time of 50.53.

“Kaulen has been a member of the MacArthur swim team during the last four years and he has left an impression on the swimming program at the campus,” related Coach Joanne Rivera. “For Kaulen, his concentration has been with the level of perfection in executing his technique.”

“Swim races are won by a hundredths of a second, which is why the key to winning is focus,” stated Applin.
