Series Update—2009 California/Nevada Section
Championships
Barracuda sectional
swimmers’ Emma Hunt, Jessica Schanzer and Blake Langland
annihilated club records set just weeks ago! Emma Hunt surged to 1:00.78
in the 100 meter freestyle, 2:09.49 in the 200, 4:33.29 in the 400
and 1:06.27 in the 100 meter butterfly; all-time club standards for
these events. Emma represented the
Barracuda’s well, swimming within the strength of the pack of
her UCSB recruiting class with her college coach looking on. Jessica Schanzer
had skipped the Pacific Junior Olympics and showed up somewhat
rested, though untested. Any anxiety
over performance quickly turned to lifetime best swims in the water
as she lowered the Barracuda all-time best 100 meter backstroke
record to 1:10.71. She completed a
clean sweep of time drops on her event list with a 28.95 50 meter
freestyle, 1:01.57 100 meter freestyle and 2:15.00 200 meter
freestyle. Blake
Langland swam unshaved and had the highest placing for the
club as we prepare for Junior National Championships (All 18-under)
to be held August 10-14 in
Federal Way
,
Washington
.
Blake swam to 24.28 and 35 th
place out of 219 competitors in the 50 meter freestyle, an event
that boasts section record holder and Olympian Jason Lezak and a
host of senior national qualifiers.
Blake also placed 45 th
out of 277 contestants in the 100 meter freestyle.
