Far Western Swimmers Bring Club
Record Total to Unprecedented 21 during 3rd Week of Championship
Swimming
The records began to melt
away at Long Course Pacific Championships and the heat has only
increased with each successive competition. 5 Barracuda swimmers lowered 12 team event marks
in
Concord
, then 5 more fell at the USA Champions Series in
Clovis
. Far
Westerns swimmers have slashed at the standards again at
Independence High School Swim Center in
San Jose
. Colleen Mayon, Allison
Short and Parker Costa fine tuned events from a record
setting outing 2 weeks ago at Pacific Championships and lowered
their own marks and set new standards.
Allison Short swam from 27th
position in the 11-12 girls 50 meter back preliminaries to
qualifying 5th into finals at 34.01 and then raced to
the bronze medal at night with a 33.97.
Colleen Mayone established herself among the
finest 13-14 year old swimmers in Pacific Swimming with her
6th place showing, coming in at 9:50.21 for the 800
meter freestyle. She also placed her
3rd record for 13-14 girls on the books with a 1:03.55
swim in the 100 meter freestyle. Parker Costa brought down his own 9-10
boys’ club record for the 4rth time this year with a 5:26.73
time in the 400 meter freestyle that placed in 10th in
