Chatham Invite

For those of you that have been anxiously awaiting, here is the recap of the Chatham Invite. It has been a VERY busy week for the entire Haven Swimming program, and we’re excited to be on the road yet again, this time to Millersville! The recap of that meet will be up shortly after the meet! 

We traveled down on Friday afternoon, leaving around 2pm to minimize class conflicts. I can truly say that there are not too many sights that I have seen more beautiful than Pittsburgh in the Fall.

That being said we took a bit of a detour all around the city on Friday night, and needless to say we skipped to just getting our dinner from Hemmingway’s Café and relaxing a bit in the hotel on Friday night, and then checked out to get a longer swim in the morning.

The meet recap is below, You can also see LHU’s official release HERE. There were a lot of GREAT swims and fun races.

The team of Kayla Schnars, Ciara Conklin, Jamie Mason, and Carley Nitchie took 2^nd in the 200 Medley Relay.

Kaitlyn Druby had huge wins in the 50 and 100 Breast. Allie Muha received 4^th place points in the 100 breast as well.

Danielle Parowski took first in the 200, 100, and 500 freestyle. In the 200 Kristen Capretti took 2^nd, Kristin Taylor 3^rd, and Allie Muha 6^th, all scoring some BIG points.

Kayla Schnars won the 50 back, 100 back, and 200 back.

Dinner on the way home was a quick one, and I can say that as a team it may have been the fastest stops we’ve ever made (3 restaurants in 25ish minutes!). The Chatham Invite was our 3^rd of 4 meets in a row (4 Saturday’s in a row)
