✨ Far Westerns Championships ✨


This weekend, we also had our first swimmer in over 8 years qualify and compete at the Far Westerns Championships. Amelia Wilden swam the 100 IM, 50 Free, and 100 Butterfly. She was able to drop time in the 100 Fly and final! Dropping time in your first major swim meet is very rare, so being able to drop time and make a final is a very impressive feat!
Huge Congratulations to Amelia for qualifying and making finals!

✨ AGE GROUPS CHAMPIONSHIPS ✨

We took a total of 11 swimmers this year, 7 of whom qualified for individual events! As a team, we scored just over 200 points, ranking us the 12th-best overall team in the county! A special shout-out to our girls’ team, which ranked 10th overall! When you compare us to other small teams, we rank about 4th, and our girls rank third! Even though most of the other small teams have around 100 swimmers, and we’re able to compete against them and even beat some large teams with a few hundred swimmers, that’s awesome! This is the most points our team has earned since well before I started swimming! The team has continued to improve competitively at an amazing rate!

~ Charlie Spivey-Jones: Dropped 4 seconds in the 100-yard back as well as a best time in all of her events!

~ Saylor Hardy: Qualified for finals in the 200 Freestyle, placing 15th overall!

~ Austin Bahl: Qualified for his first-ever final in the 50-yard backstroke, placing 11th overall!

~ Elliot Linsmeir: Qualified for his first-ever final on his birthday at his first-ever championship meet! Dropping 4 seconds and placing 14th overall in the 50 Breaststroke.

~ Isabella Atkins: Qualified for her first-ever finals in the 200 Freestyle, 100 Yard Breaststroke, and 50 Yard Breaststroke. Most notably, the 50 Yard breaststroke qualifying for a top 8 final and finishing 7th overall!

Special Shoutouts:

Congratulations to Isabella and Austin for receiving new Age Group Championship Cuts! With these new cuts, about 25% of our active team has qualifying times for Age Group Championships! This is an awesome number, and at the rate our team is improving, I can only see it going up!

Hazel Watson completed her first swim meet this weekend and showed exceptional energy and effort. Good Job Hazel!

Noticable Time Drops:

Andromeda Atkins dropped about 2 seconds in the 50 Breastroke and received her first B time!

Isabella Atkins had the largest drop in the meet in her 100 Butterfly, dropping 20 seconds!
