Cool Fact-oid

We have at least 1, and as many as 4, PSAC qualifying time in every event (except the 1000)

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!!
