Abigail is new to the swim team this summer and has worked hard to improve all her strokes. She had a great meet at Hammond Park, doing personal best times in all three of her events. She took off 3 seconds in freestyle and nearly 3 more in backstroke. She also shaved off an amazing 11 seconds in butterfly after learning this difficult stroke just a few weeks ago!!!
Male: Ethan Welsh – 10
Ethan is a veteran Wahoo swimmer who is very dedicated with excellent practice habits. This week he even took the initiative to swim in two practice groups each day! His efforts paid off when he swam 3 best times on Saturday, shaving off 3 seconds in breaststroke, almost 2 in fly, and a huge 9 seconds in 100 IM!!!
11-Over Swimmers of the Week
For week ending 7/11/09
Female: Lanie Swanhart - 15
Lanie has been on our team for many summers and has developed excellent technique in all of her strokes. She displayed perfectly on Saturday how to finish a race strong into the wall, touching out an opponent by just a tenth of a second in 100 free! This resulted in a personal best by nearly 3 seconds, and in her 100 IM she improved by another 2 seconds!!!
Male: Brendan Caffey - 14
Brendan is second-year Wahoo swimmer who had three great swims at Hammond Park. He swam more than 5 seconds faster in 100 free, took off another second in 50 breaststroke and had a great 50 on the relay. His consistent practice attendance has helped him come a long way in just two seasons on swim team!!
