It's that time of the year when thousands upon thousands of kids from as young as age 6 pull up their singlet straps in Reno, Nevada, and try to take home some hardware from Flo Reno Worlds.

Within the history books of this tournament are some of the biggest and brightest stars of today, and we're taking a glance back at when some of our current NCAA champs and All-Americans competed in Reno.

These are just a few of the interesting results from previous years at Flo Reno Worlds, so if you'd like to throw out some of your memories or tournament facts, feel free to add them in the comments. And you can check out the Flo Reno Worlds history books here.
