Swimmers of the Week!

Last week's meet was a hard-fought loss of 276 to 210. Here's to a good showing on Friday against Springlake. Swimmers take your marks!

10-Under Swimmers of the Week
For week ending 6/27/09

Female: Grace Meissner – 6
Grace is a second-year swimmer who swims with incredible “grace” for a six-year-old. She has quickly learned all 4 strokes and showed off her butterfly in a meet for the first time last Saturday. She also improved her freestyle by nearly 7 seconds and placed third, and shaved another 4 seconds off of her backstroke to win first place!!

Male: Joseph Roschella – 10
Joseph is a veteran Wahoo swimmer with great determination whenever he’s in the pool. He had a great meet against Andover with three very exciting first place finishes, each of them by fractions of a second! All three races resulted in new personal best times for Joseph as well!!!

11-Over Swimmers of the Week
For week ending 6/27/09

Female: Amanda Baldwin - 14
Amanda has been a Wahoo swimmer for several summers and always displays a great attitude in both practice and at meets. Her efforts paid off in our second meet where she scored two third place finishes and swam a personal best relay split. She also improved her 100 IM time by nearly 5 seconds and took off more than a second in 50 breaststroke!!

Male: James Sirenne – 11
James is a new swimmer this year who has come a long way in just a few short weeks as a first-time swimmer. He has improved significantly in both freestyle and backstroke, and has quickly learned breaststroke as well! Last Saturday he swam personal best times in all three of his events, improving by 11 seconds in 50 free, 16 seconds in backstroke and almost 6 seconds in breaststroke!!

Congratulations to all Swimmers of the Week from Coach Jill!
