Dear Swimmers and Parents,
2 More VJO Team Records Broken!
On
Saturday May 3rd at S.C.A.C. High School League
Championships Elina Rosario (14) broke the VJO
girls 13-14 100 Fly team record with a 1:01. Way to go
Elina!
We also
found out that Brandon Miguel
(17) set a new team record at Far Western
Championships back on April 3rd in the 1,650 Free with a
16:59.28. He broke Mario deSenna’s 2002 record of
17:02.53. Great Job Brandon!
VJO Meet Recap – April 25-27
Thank
you parents and swimmers for all the help in putting on our
meet. Our team hosts some of the biggest meets in Northern
California and it is always hard to find enough help. We had
many great swims from our VJO Sharks. We had one new Far western
time standard achieved, one new Junior Olympic time standard
achieved, 23 new “A” time standards achieved and 48 new
“B” time standards achieved. Gabriel Cueva
(9) achieved his first time ever “JO” time
standard in the 100 breast with a 1:47.95. This now qualifies
Gabriel to attend Long Course Junior Olympic Champs in July.
Mikaela Gomez (10) achieved a first time ever
“FW” time standard in the 50 back with a 38.43.
Mikaela will also be able to attend Long Course Far western
Champs in August. Great job VJO swimmers way to
Shine!
