One week later, Bullock was back at it at the Speedo Junior Nationals, this time competing in the 100 and 200 butterfly LCM, as well as the 200 IM LCM.  After posting a time of 2:28.78 in the 200 IM LCM, she improved her time in the 100 butterfly LCM, placing 42^nd in 1:02.62, while taking 57^th in the 200 butterfly LCM in 2:26.78.
