Tight Races at 1st Meet

The Wahoos narrowly missed a win at the first meet v. Dulaney. We were strong in some age categories. Lacked a little depth in other age groups. Through it all Wahoos swimmers showed grit and determination.

Yearround swimmers had a slight edge due to rigorous and frequent practices during the school year. Summer swimmers jumped in to the pool earlier this summer from lacrosse, softball, baseball, soccer, track, band, and any number of other activities. With only a few weeks of practice, summer swimmers quickly got up to speed.

As Coach Jill pointed out at the pre-meet pep talk/cheer session, Wahoos swimmers have only had two morning practices and a few weeks of afterschool practices to get ready for the 2010 season. Thanks to #Snomageddon and an extended school year, summer swim season got a late start.

Wahoos Record Is Broken


Since 1994 the girls 11-12 50 back record has remained unbroken. Not anymore. The 35.68 record was broken by swimmer Caroline. The new record is an impressive 35.60. Way to go, Caroline!
