This past Saturday's meet versus Mansfield was against Mansfield. We also sold a large number of Purple Shirts (see crazy jo-el for the modeling photo) in support of www.PANCAN.org. An organization to support Pancreatic Cancer Research. Team looked great rockin’ the purple shirts.
We had a great meet. Our women have a tremendous amount of team spirit … I don’t think we have had such a supportive group of teammates in any of the previous seasons. Britt Rehrig added to her tally of PSAC qualifying times with the lead off leg of the 100 backstroke and her swims in the 200 IM & 200 breaststroke. The IM was good enough for 4th on our all time top 5 performance list and the breaststroke ranks her 3rd.
Another standout performance was Alison Schaefer’s 1000 free … we may have found her calling. Sam Durham and Kasey Campbell battled it out during the whole 200 free (.04 apart after the first 50, .40 apart after the 100, .05 apart after the 150) with Sam finishing 1 tenth of a second ahead of Kasey. Fun race!!
Jenna Brooks and Rachel Vagnoni went 1-2 in the 50 freestyle, Britt and Sarah Navarro went 1-2 in the 200IM with very impressive swims. Amanda Palmer won the 200 fly. Sam also won the 100 free, with Brittany williams placing 2nd. Our 200 breaststrokers, Britt, Amanda and Sarah had the times to go 1,2,3.
The team was rewarded was some wonderful Halloween treats … complements of Katie (our GA), Kim (my fiancé) and Mrs Rehrig (britt’s mom). Tonight we are going to have our 5th annual Halloween practice. I am happy to report (sorry Mr E) that I broke the record in terms of poundage of candy purchased.
