Another beautiful weekend on the
Central Coast. Speaking of beautiful, I need to mention the
quality of our swimmers starts and streamlines. Awesome best
describes our team at all levels. We had the best
starts,streamlines and breakouts of all teams participating in the
meet. We also had the fastest 49er relay team on
Saturday. We took first in the 200 medley
relay.
Special thanks to our parents who
timed and officiated this weekend. It was a fun
weekend. Below is a list of notes about this past
weekend’s performances.
Dennis Wang (13)- A new A time in the 100 fly, dropping
2.21 seconds. He also dropped 4.7 seconds in both the
200 free and 200 back. Dennis swam all A times at this meet
in his 5 events.
Liz Whalen(11) - 4 best times and a new A time in the 200IM
(2:51.23). The 200IM netted a 9.74 second drop. The
smartly paced 100 back showed a 11.40 second drop in time. It
was beautiful.
Celeste Valdez (12.6) - Had 100% best times. Celeste
showed true championship characteristics after a very difficult
week. Celeste’s grandmother passed away recently.
Celeste has lead by example in showing us all to put one foot in
front of another in the face of troubled times. I enjoyed
seeing her get a new A time in the 50 breat and drop 1.77 seconds
in the 100 back.
Caitlyn Rodriguez (11) - earned a new B time in the 100 back.
Julliette Leonard (11)- A sunning 11.31 second drop in the
200IM earning a 3:09.01. Her butterfly was outstanding in
this race.
Catelyn Haro (12) - 100% best times. A 1.27 second drop in
the 100 free and 1.91 second drop in the 100 back. Fantastic
breakouts young lady!
Evan Haro (10) - Had a courageous performance in the 100 free,
even feeling very sick.
Daniel Cavazos (10) - Had a 3 second drop in the 100 free
by executing great streamlines off of every wall. He also
earned a best time in the 50 breast.
Angelina Uzzle (9)- 100% best times that included an
inspirational performance in the 500 free. The whole team
cheered her on to a 10:26.95 finish. We are so proud of you
for swimming the 500 free.
Jenna Maldonado (9) - 100 % best times and smiles to go
around. She swam the 100 free, 50 breat and 50 fly.
Mateo Trujillo (7) - 100 % best times. He earned a
new B time in the 25 free going 22.94. You Rock!
Wade Rianda (7)- Earned 2 new personal best times 25 free and
the 25 back. Good job !
Karlee Tomaso- Had a great day with 2 very fast swims.
Amanda Cavazos (8)- 2 new personal best A times in the 25
free going a blistering fast 15.98 seconds. This race will go
down as one of my favorites of 2009. Amanda streamlined
over 1/3 of the pool, keeping her head down on the breakout and
only taking 1 breath accross the pool. It was an inspiring
swim. A rare glimpse of what lies ahead for Amanda if she
keeps up with this kind of perfection in a swim. She also
earned a best time in the 100 free.
Cole Rianda (13)- 100 % best times. 2 new B times.
Dropped 16.22 seconds in the 200 free, .82 seconds in the 50 free,
1.76 seconds in the 100 fly and 4.54 seconds in the 200IM.
Big time drops!!!!
Gabe Rianda (11) - 3 personal best times and marked improvement
in stoke technique in all of his swims.
Genevieve Leonard (13) - WOW 11.42 seconds takem off in the 200
back and 7.92 seconds off in the 200 free for a new A time.
You were movin’ girl!
Toby Macabugao (12) - 100 best times. A new Far Western
Qualifying time in the 100 free going 56.85. Dropping 33.05
seconds from his last springs short course year’s time and
1.78 from his Long Course converted time from this summer. A
new Junior Olympic time in the 100 back going 1:11.38.
