Re-Cap

This weekend we totaled 4 new school records, 5 all time top 5 performances and a large number of season/lifetime best swims!!  With that being said, we are awhile away from our next swim meet so I will try and make the blog a little more "fun" and include more stories about the team etc.

One thing I will say about our team is that we are very supportive of each other while we race ... I like to look around at these types of meets and see what other teams do, more often than not most teammates are sitting down without a clue of what is going on ... I once saw a dude napping DURING a meet.  We have an amazing TEAM who support each other, and it is fun to see!!

Night Session

Started with the 1650 and our lone miler Kasey Campbell swam a great race. Finishing in about the same time as IUP.

The 200 back was a good event for us with Amanda Terray winning it and Ashley Gardner & Allison Schaefer dropping time.

The 100 free was a great event for us and the 200 fly too. 400 free relay capped off our night finishing 2nd.

Dinner was a small fest at taco bell and/or sheetz. Miracle is the movie of choice. I am going to rest my eyes now. GREAT 2 days of swimming!!

After checking out of the hotel in the morning we didn't have anyplace awesome to go too after prelims so we had a nice 'sit down' lunch ... this was taken right before the coaches received their meal.

Saturday

Didn't get to update y'all after our morning session...quick run down for our day.

200 BACK ... we had 4 swimmers make it back ... Faulstick & Gardner ended up racing neck and neck only to finish .15 seconds apart. Schaefer ended up 11th and Terray ended up winning the meet with a new meet record!

100 FREE ... Durham moved her way onto our all time top 5 performance list with her 54.90 (from prelims) ended up going 54.91 in finals to finish 3rd. Vagnoni smashed her lifetime best in the morning only to go faster at night, finishing 8th. Brooks finished 9th, Navarro finished 10th and Mills finished 12th.

200 BREAST ... Fountaine dropped about 5 seconds from her prelim swim at night! Navarro dropped about 3 seconds to finish 2nd and Rehrig swam a much smarter race at night to finish 1st ... that's right sports fans, a 1-2 finish in the 200 breast!

200 FLY ... Kinard, Milstead & Palmer swam the grueling event in style, looking very good the whole way.

400 FREE RELAY ... we won the previous 4 relays, so we were going for the sweep ... to spare you the suspense we swam another GREAT relay to finish first. Winning all 5 relays. Love it.

Sorry for the lack of awesome stories on this trip ... too many totally awesome swims to report on. I will be sure to include many more awesome stories for our loyal readers.

session 4

okay ... we had some pretty awesome swims tonight.

All 4 of our 200 medley relays swam just freaking great. The A relay set a new school and meet record!! (1:49.44)

Amanda Palmer won the 400IM with a 4:50.66.

All 6 of our 100 flyers scored points tonight ... Shannon Milstead just missed the PSAC cut time (more on this later).

The 200 free had Ali, Dub & Becky all dropping some good time from their morning swim tonight! Kasey Campbell got her PSAC cut time going 2:02.29.

The 100 breaststroke was a banner event for us ... 4 of the top 6 swimmers were from LHU (see previous post for picture). Britt won the event with a 1:07.06 (her prelim swim of 1:06.95 was a new school record and her first NCAA "b" cut(!)) Sarah Navarro dropped almost 2 seconds from her prelim swim and Rachel Vagnoni & Brittany Williams placed 4th and 5th!

Terray won the 100 backstroke with a NCAA "b" cut of 58.83.

We won the 800 free relay with a time of 8:08.52 (for those counting at home, we have won all 4 relays so far!...1 more to go).

More on Milstead ... we decided to do a time trial after the 800 free relays. Swimming right next to Jenna Brooks (aka the rabbit)...Shannon went right after it going out hard and fast ... and finished with a lifetime best and her PSAC cut time!!

Awesome night of swimming!!

2 more sessions to go!

Session 2

Going to deliver a quick recap of tonight's action.

Meet started with the 200 free relay ... Sam lead off with her first PSAC cut time of the season (25.40). Jenna, Britt R & Amanda Terray followed with some great splits and we just missed our school record by .01 seconds!! We did end up winning the race!!

The 500 free was next. Ali & Kasey both swam great swims...both were slower at the 300 mark than their prelim swim, but both ended up finishing about 3 seconds faster than their prelim swim!! Shows they're in great shape!!

The 200 IM was next. Lucy, Sarah & Amanda Palmer all swam great race staying within a second of their prelim time. Palmer swam fast enough for a PSAC cut time!

The 50 free was a great event for us ... we has 7 of the 18 swimmers. Vagnoni, Milstead, Williams, Brooks, Durham, Terray & Rehrig. It was a wicked fast event and scored us some mucho points!

Durham, Terray & Rehrig had PSAC cut times.

The last event of the night was the 400 medley relay. Terray (bk), Rehrig (br), Brooks (fl), & Durham (fr) swam some great splits to establish a new LHU team record & meet record!

We are in 2nd place (out of 7) going into tomorrow.

2 sessions down / 4 to go.

GO HAVEN!!

evening

After warm up we dined at the world famous Fire Mountain Dinner Buffet. The rolls were as good as when I last enjoyed them.

Before the food coma set in we had a quick team meeting ... then joel, adam, (fairmont/future groomsman) Coach Pat and I made our supply run to Wal Mart ... got plenty of breakfast items for tomorrow.

Spent some time visiting coach pat eating reese's giant peanut butter cups before headed back to the room to check out the heat sheet and post this...now time for some sleep. Great day of racing tomorrow!!

Warm Up...

... went really well, getting really excited for some fast swims!!

Time for Fire Mountain dinner buffet (minus dessert & dew)

All Aboard

Later than expected departure due to a train holding up a few of the women. No harm no foul.

Movie choice of the day ... The Ugly Truth.

Plan is to go right to the pool for a warm up swim ... then go to dinner (fire mountain buffet) ... then check in.
