Of Note…
Congratulations, Mt Hood Aquatics! After an excellent showing at Senior Sectionals, our State Team took 2nd place in the team race (4th in 2009) with 13 individual champions (1 in 2009) and 1 relay champion. Nick Thorne led the way for Mt Hood, taking top honors in the 200 IM (2:18.71), 400 IM (4:56.98), 100 Back (1:04.11), 200 Back (2:17.27) and 200 Fly (2:18.72). Three MHA swimmers were double winners, with Seroja Pereverzin winning the 400 Free (4:48.46) and 200 Free (2:16.65), Chris Weinert winning the 400 Free (4:07.31) and 200 Free (1:58.18), and Ida Donohue winning the 400 IM (5:19.51) and the 200 Fly (2:29.01). Abby Maricle (200 Back, 2:25.21) and Colin Eaton (50 Free, 24.58) were also individual state champions. Tualatin Hills won the team race, with Bend, Lake Oswego, Portland Aquatic, Hillsboro, Columbia River, The Dolphind, Corvallis, Tigard-Tualatin, Bearcats and Multnomah Athletic Club placing 3rd through 12th. Laura Miller, Brett Nagle, and Kayla Alf-Huynh will be competing at Senior Nationals this week, held in Irvine, California.
Parents, thanks, again, for hosting an outstanding meet! Also, a BIG thank-you to our swimmers who were not participating who chose to come to finals to support the team.
We will continue to train this month, with the next 3 weeks devoted to maintaining conditioning, stroke work and starts & turns. The schedule is listed below. Also this week I will release a tentative short course meet schedule, through December.
