Fifty-five TNT swimmers started the New Year by competing at the first CCS meet for 2015, hosted by Clovis Swim Club. The improvement rate of 41% was respectable considering the early season. Most notable were the performances from Sienna Abernathy, Ciena Clarke, Jake Goodbar, Sophia Guzman, Jonas Huckabay, Tanner Kelm, Wyatt Ward and Bryce Wong who all improved 100% of their times. Selma swimmer Jonas Huckabay had the largest improvement, dropping over 22 seconds in the 13-14 boys 200 breaststroke event.
