Over the weekend our 7 VJO swimmers had an amazing showing at the 2013 Spring Far Western Championships in Morgan Hill, CA.  Evan Augst, Mirelle Augst, Sota Kanzan, Brandon Miguel, Alyssa Powell, Dylan Powell, and Mary Welton were amongst our 7 to attend.   We had 12 new best times achieved one new PRT achieved, multiple finals swims, and 2 VJO Team Records broken.  Dylan Powell achieved a new PRT (Pacific Recognizable Time) in the 200 Fly with a 1:59.43.  Dylan also shattered his own VJO team record in the 17 & Over 200 Fly (1:59.43) set only 2 weeks ago.  Mirelle Augst also shattered her own VJO team record set only 2 weeks ago in the 15-16 200 back with a 2:17.09.  Congratulations swimmers and thank you for representing Vallejo Aquatics Club at this year’s 2013 Spring Far Western Championships.
