Great Meet!!

What a great weekend! First thing that sticks out is just how FAST the PSAC is...from top to bottom we are a part of the strongest swimming in D2.

We qualified our first swimmer in school history 3 years ago ... This weekend we qualified 4 swimmers for the national championships (which we are hosting). What a great feeling.

10 school records were set this weekend. Even more all time top 5 performances. 2 relays made all psac. Britt is all psac in the 100 breast too. Terray repeated as the 200 back champion swimming her 2nd best time ever.

Amanda Palmer finished up a stellar 4 year career in style!!

I could go on and on but it's time for a little nap on the bus ride back.

PS - I have always wanted to have a set of parents that battle for seats together, wear the same special shirt, and get involved in a team cheer ... This weekend we had that set led by Mrs Campbell and Kim! Just awesome!

GO HAVEN!

Sunday Prelims

Click HERE for results

Started with the 200 back this morning ... Amanda had a solid morning swim and will be seeded first going into tonight's finals.

100 free was the next event ... Sam Durham went a lifetime best, another top 5 performance, and will be swimming it again in the 15th spot.  Jenna Brooks also swam the 100 free and smashed her lifetime best!

200 breast saw Britt Rehrig go a lifetime best, just missing our school record...her time will have her swimming in the 10th spot tonight.

200 fly had 2 LHU swimmers.  Amanda Palmer had a season best swim and a gutsy last 50.  Shannon Milstead swam a lifetime best AND a time that puts her 4th on our all time top 5 list.

Kasey then swam the 1650 free with a time that has her seeded 9th going into tonight. If she beats any of the top 8 swimmers tonight she will make the top 16.  Her swim was a new school record, besting her time from last year.

~I wont have a chance to type up a full report after the next session, but will do my best to upload pictures and a few blurbs via the crack berry.

You will be able to check for the results by clicking HERE there will be a Sunday PM link with the results listed.

Sat Finals

WOW...great night of swimming for the Lady Eagles.

200 Medley Relay placed 3rd, All-PSAC honors, and another NCAA "a" cut (just a tad slower than thursday's time trial)

Amanda Palmer had her 2nd and 3rd fastest time every in the 400IM, a very grueling event and I am really proud of how she swam it.

Jenna Brooks...100 fly.  Rocked it!  ended up 8th overall ... breaking one of the oldest LHU school records!  58.25.  (before this weekend Jenna had never been under 1:00 on a flat start)

Britt Rehrig...100 breast.  Placed 3rd.  swimming a 1:05.89 this morning and 1:05.58 this afternoon ... her first 2 times under 1:06.  AWESOME!!!!

Amanda Terray...100 back.  Placed 2nd, 3rd year in a row ... 56.80.  Fastest time ever!!!

800 Free relay...same school record setters as last year ... (different order this year) lead off with Terray (1:57.30 ... 200 free school record!!) Campbell, Durham & Palmer ... broke their school record with a 7:58.55.  Placed 8th again this year!

BIG swims tomorrow, 2 sessions to go!

Wegmans Lunch

Wegmans lunch is quite delish ... so delish that we saw a representative from just about every PSAC school there for lunch.  I enjoyed some Red Robin with my mom, sister, brian and fiance Kim (#1 fan ... though she says #2).

Just want to go on record now to say that ski jumping in the winter olympics is amazing ... perhaps another sport that relies on a great streamline for a quality result.

Go Haven.

GREAT morning

Click HERE for results

Started with Amanda Palmer in the 400IM ... she was right on her best ever/school record and came up less than a second short ... she will be in the middle of the pool tonight in the consolation heat.  (which is the best possible spot for her!!)

100 fly saw Sarah Navarro go a lifetime best, and Shannon Milstead just miss her lifetime best.  Jenna Brooks went a smoking fast 58.25.  Good enough for a new school record and to swim tonight as the 7th seed.

100 breast saw Sarah Navarro so another lifetime best, dropping some serious time!  Britt Rehrig went in as the 3rd seed and will be swimming tonight as the 3rd seed as she went a lifetime best/breaking her school record.

100 back saw 2 time PSAC runner up Amanda Terray break her googles right before the start of the race ... after a mad dash to get them went a really solid time (faster than her 400 med relay lead off last night).  She will be swimming tonight as the 2nd seed.

We will also add in the 200 medley relay ... we are the 4th seed, but if we go the same time that we did during the time trial Thursday night we will have a great shot making some more history.  It will be a REALLY great race.  Can't wait.

Going to try and nap now ...  GO HAVEN!!

Lunch

Today's lunch was a subway / chick-filia option.  The team will be absolutely dismayed when they read this to find out that I have never been to a chick filia before...a few of them are moderately obsessed with that place.

I give my first dining experience a C+ /B- ... taking into account the waffle fries as bonus points b/c I LOVE waffle fries and the Styrofoam cups.  (although horrible for the environment, my drink stays colder longer!)  Negative points for the BBQ sauce.  It is a bit lacking in flavor and the packets are not made for easy dipping (huge waffle fries don't dip into the bbq very well).

Anyways ... had a reeses PB cup for dessert and now I am watching Curling.  This "sport" is fascinating and way too much fun to watch.

Crushing the Top 5 Times List!!

Kasey's 1000 last night ... new school record (#1)

Sarah Navarro's 200IM ties #5
Amanda Palmer's 200IM #3

50 Free
Jenna ended up 5th ... 3 heats later, Rehrig went fast enough to get 4th, which ended up bumping Jenna off the list .... but it's pretty awesome that in the matter of 5 minutes we had 2 top 5 times ... and in a matter of 45 minutes we had 4!! (200IM is the event before the 50 free)

In 2 Sessions we have had 5 new performances!!

Quick Update

Kasey's 500 free was very soild and after the 1000 it is tough to get up and do that race the next morning.

The 200 IM had sarah and palmer swim lifetim bests. Great start to the meet for them!!

The 50 free had jenna going a 24.9 (going 24 before she ever went 25) Milstead went a lifetime best. Sam had a tough start but came back very strong!! Terray and Rehrig made it back to finals in 13th and 15th place.

Add in the 200 free relay and 400 medley relay tonight!

GO HAVEN!!!

Kasey had just a solid swim from start to finish.  She has really come a long way this year and her new school record/lifetime best was just awesome for her.

The 200 medley relay exceeded all expectations I had for them ... just awesome.  We have some really good momentum going into the rest of the meet ... the tough part will be to keep them on cloud 9 so we can continue to swim as awesome as we did tonight.

prelims tomorrow...
500 free (kasey)
200 im (palmer / navarro)
50 free (brooks, milstead, terray, rehrig, durham)

For PSAC's last year, and again this year, we have started to do the same warm up each day.  This will allow the women to get used to what they need to do to get ready to race next weekend.

The Warm Up is:

800 oyo
6 x 50 @ :55 (slk/dr/sw)
3 x 100 @ 1:40 descend
3 x 75 @ 1:10
2 x 25's from dive (1 AO / 1 choice)
3 finishes from flags
