By Sharon Robb
CORAL SPRINGS, March 10, 2022—South Florida Aquatic Club took an early lead on Day One of the Florida Gold Coast 14-and-Under Junior Olympics Championships Thursday at Coral Springs Aquatic Complex.

South Florida Aquatic Club leads the combined (85), girls (42) and boys (43) team standings after opening day action.

South Florida Aquatic Club has traditionally done well at JOs. SOFLO has won ten overall combined short course team titles including nine straight until last year.

Metro Aquatic Club of Miami is defending champion after winning the title for the first time in more than ten years in March, 2021.

SOFLO’s 11-12 boys led the age group competition with 27 points ahead of St. Andrew’s Aquatics with 18. SOFLO’s 13-14 girls led the age group competition with 22 points ahead of Swim Fort Lauderdale with 15. SOFLO 10-and-under boys are second with 10 points and 11-12 girls are second with 20 points.

Among SOFLO’s top finishers with some impressive time drops were:

Jemma Baldwin, 11-12, 1,650 freestyle, fourth, 19:16.64, time drop 17.52.

Sofia Gomez, 11-12, 1,650 freestyle, ninth, 19:42.89, time drop 23.09.

Katelyn Gembicki, 13-14, 1,650 freestyle, third, 18:05.61, time drop 56.40.
