Ross Bittner and Matt Kelley, both from Peachtree City, won a silver and a bronze medal respectively, in the swimming competition of the 1999 Junior Goodwill Games Nationals Finals last weekend. The games were held on the campus of Georgia Tech and Bittner and Kelley placed in the 25 yard sprint.

The Junior Goodwill games involve three sports: track and field, swimming, and basketball. Track and field includes a 50-yard dash, a standing broad jump, and the discus. The basketball section is an individual shooting competition.

Bittner finished the 25 yard sprint with a time of 27.24, good enough for a second place finish in the 12-13 year old boy's division. Kelley, swimming in the 10-11 boys division, placed third with a time of 34.25.
