Congratulations to all Vision Swimmers who competed last weekend at the Memorial Day meet in Santa Clarita. I heard from coach that even with the rain on Sunday, a lot of you still dropped your times. I’d also like to welcome some of our new competitive swimmers, I do hope that this first meet inspired you to register for more and keep on improving.
Here are some highlights of our 15 swimmers who competed:
Arlene Arellano (14 yrs old) – Dropped 2 minutes in the 100 Breast with a time of 1:38:41 and also dropped 2 minutes in the 50 Fly.
Ethan Blank (12 yrs old) – maintained most of his times in all his events, pretty sure will drive him to do better in the next meet.
Josh Blank (14 yrs old) – as you know, with this weekend’s 200 Brest, he accomplished the “Every Stroke, Every Distance” milestone.
Hailey Cervantes – This 8-year old registered for 7 events and came out in the top 4 on all except two! Congratulations Hailey.
Uzziel Corona (12 yrs old) – dropped time in 3 of the 6 events! Special mention to placing 2nd overall in the 50 Free and the 200 Back!
Jean Darbo (11 yrs old) – swam three events this weekend and placed in the top 10 on all of them, 1st place in the 50 Back!
