Holiday Meet Results
The Blizzard of 2022 came and went, and the Titans did their very best to weather the storm, pull together, and run the Holiday Swim Meet right after it! We relied on everyone’s flexibility and determination to combine 2 days of racing into one night! Special thanks to all who helped volunteering, our amazing Board of Directors that put in extra time and energy, our coaches who pitched in and did a great job getting the Titans ready to race on a very short practice week, and of course, our fantastic swimmers who did phenomenally in a tough situation. We understand some families were still in driving ban situations and we are glad all stayed safe!
Four Level 1 swimmers braved the storm and joined us for our holiday meet. This meet helped show us all how hard our swimmers have been working along with what else we can work on! We had 8 new swims along with a best time from Valerie Mattison. There were 11 swims total, with 5 of them being from superstar Evelyn Domagala! Laila Tomsic did a great job in her 50 free- going under a minute! Great Job to Paul Dablo as well for crushing his 50 freestyle.
Level 2 also brought 4 swimmers and had a total of sixteen events! Every swimmer had at least one best time, and there were a total of 8! Amelia D’Avirro got over the 50 second hurtle in her 50 free with a new best time of 49.16. Audrey Nudell dropped over 45 seconds total in her events- great job Audrey! Khloe Kibby swam six events with two best times in her 50 breastroke and 50 free. Rosie Pashler went 50 for the first time in the 50 free and also tried out the 100 free!

Their recent hard work and dedication at practice was seen by level 5 swimmers at the Holiday Meet.

Ariyana Sanders, Tessa Michalowki, Nora Pashler, and Ellie Homish dropped time in nearly every event they swam!

Level 6 was exceptional at this one! Nine Titans combined to get 23 Personal bests, 7 Niagara Championship cuts (NI), 15 Championship Qualifier Cuts (CQ), and 1 DQ to learn from! As we get older in this sport best times are the result of hard work and dedication, having to swim a meet on so few days of practice it was truly amazing to see such a fantastic set of results. The efforts put in by all in attendance is deserving of praise! Ryan Bronson swam 4 personal bests with an impressive 1st time swim and Gold (NI) cut in the 200 FLY! Andre Charlier joined us amid his High School season to throw together 5 personal bests with and another impressive 1st time swim and Gold (NI) cut in the 200 FLY!

We are proud of all the effort Level 6 put in at this one…. “It’s not what happens to you that truly matters, IT’S HOW YOU REACT THAT DOES!”
