Indianapolis, Ind. – The 2007 Synchronized Swimming U.S. National Championships kicked off today at the IUPUI Natatorium in Indianapolis with the free preliminary competition.

The 2007 U.S. National Championships mark the 62nd year of national competition in the duet and team events and the 58th year of solo competition.
Today's free routine scores will be combined with Friday's technical preliminary scores to determine the qualifiers who will advance to finals. Finals competition will take place on Saturday with eight routines per event. For today's results, check out http://www.usasynchro.org/events/nationals/main07.htm.
