finals day 1

Sorry, delay in posting ... #1 swim fan (and asst coach kim) came to town and we took awhile to get him settled after the Ruby Tuesdays take out dinner.

Started off with a few great swims in the 200 free relay.  With only the A relay scoring points, we lead off the B, C, & D relays with sprinters to give them another shot at a flat start time.

Kasey Blesh took her maiden name off the all time top 5 times list with her 500 swim tonight ... 5:18.40, keeping the 2nd place spot placing 14th, with a 7 second time drop from her prelim swim.

Britt Rehrig took the gold medal in the 200 im with a new school record, NCAA b cut time of 2:08.63.  Sarah Navarro placed 4th just missing her lifetime best.  Shannon Milstead placed 11th with a 2:20.93.  Erin Kury dropped a solid 2 seconds with her IM, moving up a few spots from her seed spot.  Emilee Mallams placed 17th after squeaking into the night swim.

In the 50 free, Rehrig placed 3rd shortly after winning the 200 im.  Kristen Capretti, placed 6th adding a tenth from her prelim swim ... still her 2nd best ever swim!  Carley Nitchie dropped a little time, but came up .10 short of the PSAC qualifying time.  Vagnoni & Schnars also swam respectable final races.

In the 400 medley relay saw some great performances...many of them warm up swims leading up to the 100 stroke races tomorrow.
