Meet at Kutztown 1/19/2013


Pretty good meet yesterday with fellow PSAC team Kutztown.  One of the hardest things to do in swimming is get up twice to race in back to back days in the middle of a training cycle, and though our women were tired they were racing. That is the ultimate goal going into the end of the season, and from start to finish I was proud to see them go after it!

The Medley Relays picked up 1st and 3rd place points, with the team of Kayla Schnars, Laura Stephens, Britt Rehrig, and Carley Nitchie taking the pool record of 1:51.20

Laura Stephens got it done in the 100 breast, finishing with a time of 1:09.19.

In the 1000 Kristin Taylor had a season best 11:36.54 and Senior Britt Maguire was under 13 minutes for the 2nd time in 2 days. Emily Shultz, like her freshmen teammate Amanda Thomas the day before completed her first ever 1000 yard free race. Great stuff!

Kayla Schnars had a strong showing in the 100 and 200 back, winning both events.

Allie Muha had a big 200 fly going 2:15.35

Britt Rehrig picked up a win in the 100 free and had a hard fought race in the 200 breast, finishing with a PSAC time of 2:32.43. Britt also picked up a win in the 200 IM with a time of 2:14.63

The free relays picked up 1st and 3rd place points with the team of Kristen Capretti, Kayla Schnars, Laura Stephens, and Carley Nitchie picking up the win in a time of 1:43.87

Again, it was a great showing from our women against a tough Kutztown team. I was pleased with seeing the racing that was happening. I am excited for us to head to California (PA this time) this weekend and take on 3 different dual meets against Chatham, Mansfield, and California PA. Going to be a great way to end our dual meet season and hopefully gain a little momentum going into the Haven Invite on 2/2.

Thank you again to the great showing from the Lock Haven University family in the stands. It was pretty impressive to know where our section is right off the bat because they’re cheering the loudest. That is something I have been proud of this team for years, and now that I am the head coach it makes me so happy to see continue. GO HAVEN!
