What a great day for our swimmers and our club yesterday!!! Thank you to every parent who spent time working at the meet yesterday. Special thanks to Mike Ansel and Mike Dowzicky for running a great meet, Tim Cooper for running the computer for the entire meet, MaryBeth Ruckelhaus for running the snackbar, and Megan Fritz, Donna Muscatello, Susan Schorer, Kim Kamertz, and Dianne Zeigler for helping to line our swimmers up so that the coaches could watch the meet! Also, thank you to all of the lifeguards and Fran Wieber for helping to make this event safe for all of our swimmers!

 

CONGRATULATIONS  GIRLS !!!

 

I told the girls it would be an advantage to swim in our home pool for champs and it was! 126 season best times. Congratulations girls!  There were so many great swims at the meet, that I am going to give 4  Piranha Awards (past winner's here...) ~ one for each age group.

8+unders ~ The champs piranha award goes to a swimmer who is always smiling and was all smiles after 5 fantastic swims including a 5th place finish in the 50 freestyle and an amazing 2 second drop to finish 4th in the 25 breast. Congratulations Katie Patrick!

9-10's ~ The champs piranha award goes to a swimmer who always listens at practice. She focuses on what we work on each day and showed that by hitting her backstroke turns and nailing her wind-up relay start (Kelly Franz hit her start as well). She dropped 2 seconds in back and breast Congratulations Ariel Sigal!

11-12's ~ This is a tough one as two swimmers had great swims. Awesome job to Lizzy Ruckelshaus in her two events hitting 30.00 on the nose in the 50 free and dropping 2 seconds in 50 back. But, this piranha award goes to a swimmer who arguably had the best race of the entire day... dropping 3 seconds and coming from behind to win the 100 IM with a 1:11. Hopefully, she gets one more chance to swim this as a 1st alternate leagues... because she will do well. Congratulations Mariana Bernal!

13-14's ~ This piranha award goes to a swimmer who worked the night before on her start so that she could reach her goal of going under 30 in the 50 freestyle. And, she did it twice... congratulations Laura Heelan!

Thank you to all of the division championship swimmers for a GREAT season. I will see you at the banquet.

Coach Brian
