Dear VJO Swimmers and Parents,

Broken!!!
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.
