SELECTIONS...unofficial...REVISED!

click HERE to view all the selections

with the revision, 12 more women and 1 male were added to the meet.  it also means that Britt was selected in the 100 breast individually.  it appears to be a pretty complicated process, but after all the revisions and message board posts not much changed for us.  we are still headed to Texas on the 6th of March for the National Championships with 4 swimmers and we have 4 (or 3) more individual swims than we did last season in Canton.

Sunday Prelims!

What a sweet, sweet session.  Started with the 200 back ... Amanda Terray had a fantastic swim, I told her later that was the best she looked swimming that event in 2 years!  She is going into the session 3rd and is pretty motivated winning the event 4 years in a row.  We will see can't wait!

100 free was next ... sarah navarro continued to surprise herself with a lifetime best.  Kristen Capretti and Jenna Brooks also swam wicked fast.  Sam was just a hair off her lifetime best, but will be leading off the relay tonight (and has the option of time trialin' too) to get her 53.

Britt swam another stellar race in the 200 breast and will be going into finals in 8th ... (.05 ahead of 9th place)  2 swims in the 200 fly ... Shannon Milstead smashed her lifetime best with a great 2:15.7.  Kristin Taylor swam with a few too many nerves and didn't have the time she was looking for, but did gain a lot of experience for next year.

Kasey was in the 3rd heat of the 1650 this morning .... and again, smashed her team record 18:07.77.

We were able to secure a few rooms until 3pm and will be heading to the pool shortly after that.  I will be losing internet access for the computer, but will be using the crackberry for sure!

GO HAVEN!

Last Day

Headed to the pool for our last session. 200 back, 100 free, 200 breast! 200 fly...then we have KC in the 1650. Gonna be a great morning!

saturday finals

Click HERE for results.

As you can see from the "ticker" of posts on the blog and facebook that we had a really great night.  Lots and lots of fast swims ... can't wait until tomorrow's events.  A little too fatigued to write a run down....another early morning tomorrow with some more great swims.

I am so incredibility proud of our women ... just some great swims and positive energy all around.  The PSAC is wicked fast this year...(heard the WCU coach tell someone that the 3rd place finisher in the womens 200 im 3 years ago, does NOT even make back at night to swim....holy moly)

Good night all.

800 free relay had a false start, but Sam lead off with a smokin' lifetime best 1:58.55

Sat Prelims...

Apologies for the lack of live updates during the session ... it was fast and furious today with a lot of Haven swims. 

Click HERE to view the results.

Started with the 100 fly.  We had 3 lifetime bests in a matter of 2 heats!  Congrats Capretti, Taylor and Milstead!  Jenna swam a very fast "b" cut and is going into finals seeded 7th.  Sarah Navarro shocked the world with her 2:01.74 200 free.  Just awesome.  Next up was Britt's 100 breast and what a great morning swim, not a great finish, but a sweet time of 1:05.01, seeded 2nd.  Going to be a fun race to watch tonight.  Terray finished up with the 100 backstroke and was just a hair slower than leading off the relay last night but is in the big heat seeded 5th tonight. 

We had a lot of family / friends / teammates as spectators today... great turnout.  For lunch I had Chick-fila with Britt that we brought over to Panera to have with team.  After giving them a poor review 2 years ago, I have to tell you that I've found the perfect sandwich for me...the spicey chicken deluxe with pepper jack cheese.  Pair that with a diet dr pepper and waffle fries and I am in deep fried food heaven.

The 100's Day (and 200 free)

Another great morning ahead of us. First event up in prelims (remember the relays are timed finals) is the 400 IM and for the first time in a long time we don't have a swimmer in the event. 100 fly is next with 3 swims, followed by the 200 free with 1 swim. The only other events are the 100 breast and back. With 1 swim in each.

GO HAVEN!!

Friday Finals

Click HERE to view results

200 free relay had very solid swims from all 4 women ... 200 IM had Britt seeded 7th after a morning swim where she went out a little too fast.  This evening she swam smarter and went essentially the same time (.08 slower)...much stronger and efficent.

Sam didn't really have the result we were looking for, but still looked great.  went in 16th and stayed 16th.  Good news was her prelim swim was the B cut she was looking for and tonight won't be the last time she swims that event individually this season.

We finished out with a new school record in the 400 medley relay!! placed 6th (quick illustration on just how crazy fast the meet is this year our time was about 8 tenths slower last year and we placed 3rd, this year we are faster and got 6th, it is nuts that a B cut doesn't make it into the top 16 at night).

GREAT feast from Olive Garden tonight in the special room that the Hampton Inn has...time to get some shut eye, another great day of swimming tomorrow!

3:53.33. 400 med relay. NEW SCHOOL RECORD!

Prelims Report

Sorry for the late update ... we had a pretty awesome morning ... Kristin Taylor lead us off with a lifetime best in the 500 free, and Kasey Campbell had another great swim ... just a hair slower than last night's 500 split ... but ask any coach at this meet the 1000 thursday night to 500 friday morning double is not easy.  The IM saw 3 great swims by Milstead, Navarro & Rehrig ... britt broke her own school record and is seeded 7th going into tonight.  The 50 free saw Sam Durham getting her B cut with a 24.44...seeded 16th going into tonight.  Terray went a season best 24.66 and Brooks and Capretti tied with season best times of 25.18.

What a morning!  Can't wait for tonight when we add in the 200 free relay & the 400 medley relay.

Go HAVEN!

Great swims so far ... Next up 50 free!

Taylor, Milstead, Rehrig all lifetime bests and KC and Navarro literally just missing her. Awesome!

Great Day 1

click HERE to read the official LHU press release.

What a wonderful night of swimming on day 1 of the PSAC meet.  As you can see if you read previous posts, we had two NCAA cut times.  Kasey reached her goal of an NCAA 'b' cut time with just a perfectly swum race.  (note: she also went out in a lifetime best in the 500 with a 5:19!)

We waited around for the rest of the 1000's (3 more heats of women, and 3 heats of men) before our 200 medley relay time trialed.  We were between Cal & Gannon.  We had 4 great legs, with Sam anchoring in a 23.60 to give us the cut!!  The funny part was that our women were just so focused on swimming fast that they didn't know what the cut time was....assuming that our time wasn't fast enough they were just happy to have swum fast.  Now, I had no reaction b/c (1) I was pleasantly surprised that we swam that fast and (2) we had worked our relay exchanges a LOT in the past week and we work on pushing them...so much so that I wouldn't have been suprised if we had a false start, so I didn't want to get too excited just in case we had one and the time would have been null and void.

(note: I had Adam Stoner standing right in the line of the exchanges so that he could grade them and he said if anything they could have been a little faster!!)

It is funny b/c I think back to last year when we got the A cut, Kutztown was right next to us and they also got the cut ... swimming, RACING, right next to another strong relay is a huge help, I like it even better when we both get the time we were looking for.  Hoping to have some great relay races when we are swimming for points!

Can't get too excited though as we are still just starting the meet and have 6 sessions to go!!

Race Day!

Race day has finally arrived ... we board our bus in just over 3 hours.  We are going to make a quick stop for lunch at an Applebees about half way.  Once we get into Mechanicsburg we will make a supply run to Wal Mart where the women (and Stoner) will be able to get a few snacks and drinks for their rooms.

We will check into the hotel and the women will have some time to relax, shave down etc before we head over to the pool.  There is a coaches meeting at 5:35pm and the 1000 starts at 6:30pm.  Kasey will be swimming in heat 1 lane 4, a great spot.  After 4 total heats of the women and 3 total heats of the men, there will be optional time trials.  We will be taking advantage of the option by swimming the 200 medley relay.

Be sure to check back often for updates and pictures...if you  haven't "liked" our Facebook page, please join us!

Coverage starts Thursday at 6:30pm with the women's and men's 1000 free ... hopefully they will continue the broadcast for the optional time trials after the 1000.  We will be doing the 200 medley relay (and I know for sure of 1 other team doing the same time trial ... traditionally there are multiple events swum during that session)

1 more practice!

I like tossing in some morning only workouts during taper time ... this morning was one of those workouts.  Women all look strong and consistent.  They will have plenty of time to rest up before tomorrow afternoon's workout. 

Departure time is 10am on Thursday!!  Go Haven!
