AGE GROUP FALL LEAGUE MEET # 4 NEWS

 

Saturday, October 24 was a beautiful day out at Glendale Community College for the final regular season meet of the year-round competitive Age Group’s Fall League. In all, 40 MAC swimmers participated!  The morning and afternoon sessions were both productive. Unfortunately, the A session of the meet saw technical difficulties resulting in manual whistle starts instead of the usual electronic starts.  Every one was a good sport about it and still managed to pull off season and lifetime bests.

 

Congrats to Ty Dang who has consistently swam best times through all the fall meets.  This Saturday’s was no exception with best times and team records in all three events: 11-12 100 back, 100 breast and 200 IM.  Ty also achieved Far Western cuts in the 100 back and 200 IM.    8 and Under swimmer Katie McBratney continues to break her own records, this time in the 50 fly and the 50 back.  In addition, Katie picked up another 10 & U State Q time in the 50 back.  Good job Katie.  Other team records that fell: 11-12 girls: 100 IM: Jackie Winston.; 200 back and 200 free: Brie Alford.  11-12 boys: 200 breast Kyle Zabokrtsky.  13-14 girls: 200 IM Makenna Schmidgall.

 

The swimmers continue to work hard and will now begin training for the upcoming Fall League Championships to be held November 14 and 15.   Preliminaries will be at Scottsdale Aquatics on the 14th and Finals will be at Marlins (Phoenix Country Day).
