Neptune alumnae Jennifer Sims (UC San Diego)
and Allie Stuhr (SRJC) had notable collegiate
performances over the February 21st weekend. Sims took 2nd in
the 100 Fly and won the 200 Fly at the Pacific Collegiate Swim
Conference Meet in Long Beach, helping UCSD win the conference
crown. Stuhr won the 100 Back in a SRJC school record time of
59.37, leading the Bear Cubs to a dominating team victory at the
Panther Invitational at Sac City College.
Friday the 13th was a lucky day for Neptune alumna
Kelsey Louden. She swam career
bests in the 100 (1:04.80) and 200 Breaststroke
(2:20.90) for UCLA against USC in their last dual meet of the
2009 season. Kelsey shared the pool with Rebecca Soni of USC,
the 2008 Olympic Gold medallist and WR holder in the 200m Breast,
who won both of these events at the meet.
