Final Results

click HERE to view full results.  A rather successful weekend for us ... Kasey had a career ending swim to remember, as previously noted breaking the oldest LHU record in the books.  Kayla went her best ever 100 backstroke, getting the "double O" ... Sam Durham dropped another tenth of a second on her season best time in the 50 ... Jenna went another 58.1 in the fly (as she did at PSACs) ... the 200 medley relay improved their time, but didn't quite go fast enough to get selected to go to the NCAAs ... Britt went after some more B cuts, but came up just a little short ... we'll keep the focus on training for the 50 free & 100 breast for NCAAs.

Official selections come out on Wednesday ... the PSAC continues to be a top conference and should be well represented at the meet.

Small Feast

After today's session we road tripped to the Rehrig residence where we all enjoyed a small feast ... Delish. Nice to have a little quality time to go along with some resting and relaxing.

Tonight's session will start off with our 200 medley relay ... Sam in the 50 with Kasey. Britt may or may not go after the b cut in the 100 fly, Kayla and Jenna have the option of a time trial to end the night.

Chipolte is on tap for dinner before the drive back to the Haven.

West Chester's Last Chance Meet

We're headed to West Chester tomorrow (friday) and Saturday for a last chance qualifying meet.  We are searching for about a second time drop in our 200 medley relay ... Kasey is going to give another run at the 500 free school record...Britt is going to try and get a few more B cuts (we're feeling pretty good about her qualifying individually in the 100 breast...currently ranked 10th in the country)...Sam D is going to swim the 50 free ... Kayla and Jenna may add in a few time trials of their own too.

Not packing the laptop, so I will get a few updates via the iphone ... also be sure to check out our facebook and twitter pages.

Last Session ... Line out the door, again

Sunday Prelims

Started with Kayla's 200 backstroke ... 2 second time drop on the season, good enough for a lifetime best.

GREAT 100 freestyles as well.  Started with Jenna going a lifetime best, heat 2 had 3 Haven swimmers, Abby, Kristen C, & Carley ... all 3 season best times, and 2 lifetime bests!  Sam Durham didn't have the result she was looking for out in lane 8, but will be leadin off our 400 free relay tonight (heat 1 lane 4).  Rehrig, lifetime best and is seeded 8th going into finals.

The 200 fly was the bread and butter for a lot of our swimmers ... Allie looked long and smooth the whole time and had a lifetime best, just missing top 16.  Milstead crushed her lifetime best!  Erin took hers out a little too conservative and had a little too much in the tank coming home ... Kristin Taylor had the opposite problem, going out a little too strong and struggled a little bit.

Kasey too her mile out strong and was on record pace until the 1250 mark before falling off pace, only to bring it back, while chasing down the swimmer in the lane next to her ... only ended up missing her own record by about a half second.

Tonight, we have the senior ceremony ...  the 200 medley relay time trial ... Britt's 100 free ... 400 free relay.

In the battle of the women's only programs we currently sit in 2nd (behing CAL / ahead of Kutztown) ... odds are pretty good it will come down to the last relay to determine 2nd place with Kutztown ... lots of racing tonight!!

TEAM HAVEN!

Finals

Just 3 swims tonight.  Jenna went into finals in the 100 fly 7th, and stayed 7th ... just a little off her prelim time, but a great race!  Britt swam the 100 breast as the top seed, went out .3 slower in the first 50 and her final time was about .2 slower than this morning ... had a GREAT race and finished 2nd.  We finished the session with the 800 free relay, and dropped about 22 seconds on the night with everyone (Durham, Miller, Navarro & Blesh) in the 159-200 range. 

Another feast from Olive Garden for dinner ... special thanks to the Rehrig's and Campbell's for helping out with picking up of the food while we are able to go right back to the hotel and relax.

Going to sleep in a little bit longer than normal tomorrow morning before heading to the pool for the events that sent a lot of people to this meet.  200 back, 100 free, & a big one for us ... 200 fly.  We will also have Kasey's 1650 free before we hit wegmans for lunch, before heading back to the hotel for some quality rest and relaxation before heading to the pool for finals.

Great Racing so far ... but still another whole day of excitement for us, even though we are graduating 5 of our 13 qualifiers we are still a very young team and there is a lot of valuable experience being gained at this meet.

Tomorrow's blog updates, may be a little slow, but will get them up asap.

also, of note ...  tomorrow evening, before the 1650 we will get our time trial in of the 200 medley relay ... give it another shot ... can't wait!

400 med relay (5th)

Britt 2nd Place

Prelims

click HERE to view results (remember to scroll down)...

400 IM - 5 swims (Kury, Milstead, Muha, Navarro, Taylor) ... 5 season best times!  and ended up with 3 all time top 5 times.  great way to start the morning!  Taylor, Kury did the back to back events, with the 100 fly up next.  Both season best times, with Taylor going a 1:01.95 - best ever!  Schnars and Brooks both had season best swim, with Brooks coming back 7th tonight.

Abby Miller swam just off her season best in the 200 free ... next up was the 100 breast ... 2 top 5 performances, Navarro going under 1:10 for the first time ever (1:09.89) and Britt smashing her school record with a 1:04.01, coming back as the top seed tonight.  Should be a great race for her tonight.

Capretti and Schnars swam the 100 back and had some decent swims!

Sam Durham and Carley Nitchie had another go at the 50 free with a time trial ... Sam went a 24.6, great swim and looked much better ... Carley went a lifetime best 24.94, breaking 25 for the first time ever. 

GREAT MORNING SESSION!!

tonight, we will add in the 800 free relay ... that's still TBD.

Lunch was a combo of Chik-Filet and Panera Bread ... with roughly 3 hours back at the hotel, before heading back and doing it again.  Can't wait to see what tonight has in store for us!!

Friday!

VERY solid night of racing for us.

Same deal as before ... click HERE and scroll down to view the results.

Started off with the 200 free relay ... we swam to 5th place from the first heat!  Great effort by Rehrig, Durham, Capretti & Brooks!  Next up for us was Rehrig in the 200 IM ... took it out very strong, backed off a little too much in the backstroke but brought it home very well to stay 10th.  Capretti caught some waves and finished again, in the same spot as she qualified ... 15th.  Finished the night was a great 400 medley relay, finishing 6th from the first heat. 

Had a longer than normal wait on dinner from Al's Subs ... last time going there.  But in the end I am confident everyone had a good meal. 

HUGE day of racing tomorrow...400 im, 100 of all the strokes (except free), 200 free.  We are also going to have Durham and Nitchie time trial the 50 free in some clean water.

Friday Prelims

To view results ... click HERE and scroll down.

Kasey's 500 was another 5:18 ... very consistent!  the 200 im's for Milstead and Navarro were great swims and lifetime bests.  Rehrig took our her IM wicked fast and strong and paid for it a little bit at the end ... she is tied for 9th going into finals.  The 50 free was a mixed bag for us ... Brooks broke 25 for the first time ever, winning the heat from lane 1! Capretti went her lifetime best and will have a 2nd swim tonight seeded 15th.  Miller had a nervous swim but still right on her time.  A good first race for her.  Durham  was a little off and got hit with a few waves coming home in lane 8. 

Small feast at Wegmans for lunch followed by some quality rest and relaxation at the hotel.

adding in the 200 free relay & 400 medley relay tonight

session 1

click HERE to view results

3rd place 200 medley relay!! ... a time trial is in order as all 4 of the women are capable of going faster, but what a race!!

Kasey best ever 500 going out in the 1000 ... Allie best ever 1000.

3 swims, 3 great results...quick morning session tomorrow with the 500 free, 200 im and 50 free.

We have had more than our fair share of suit malfunctions...I have always been a die hard TYR guy, but after all the frustrations we have had so far with the suits this year, I am going to have to re-consider where loyalties lie.

Bill Rehrig is sewing up a seam now ... and after "shoving" Kristin Taylor into a suit (after Kristen Capretti literally bruised herself trying to get it on) we should be okay (knock on wood).

All that being said, we had a decent Olive Garden dinner in our lobby and the women are resting up nicely going into the 2nd session.

Haven Invite Today

Today we are having our last regular season competition.  It is going to be a fairly laid back invite style meet with Mansfield.  Prelims and Finals, followed by some time trials ... giving everyone 3 chances to reach their goal!

(for all those who don't know, you're only allowed to swim 1 time trial per event, per meet.  So with prelims and finals giving the women 2 chances, and added time trial will give them a 3rd)

Results to follow late this afternoon / evening.
