Krenzer posted qualifying times in both the 100-yard breaststroke and 200-yard breaststroke during the 14 & Under Niagara Swimming Championships. In the 100-yard breaststroke, he posted a “Zones” qualifying time of 1:06.44, which placed him seventh. In the 200-yard breaststroke, he swam a 2:23.33 and earned third place.

Additionally, Krenzer swam the 100-yard individual medley (1:01.50, 8th), 200-yard individual medley (2:15.49, 14th), 50-yard freestyle (24.72, 22nd) and 100-yard freestyle (54.85, 24th).

This is the second consecutive year he will be competing at Zones, but Krenzer is only the second swimmer in several years to reach the Eastern Zones Championships as his Dunkirk/Fredonia/Forestville high school teammate Adam Fred was the last to do so back in a 2018 and 2020 while swimming for HHSC.
