Recap of last Week:

We had our 1st Invite of the year when the team travelled to
Chandler High School for the 2016 Wolves Classic. Forty-nine
school attended with over 1200 kids swimming and diving. The
Diver competed on Wednesday with Jordan Sieglitz placing
5th and Jenna Rybarczyk placing 9th and they both qualified
for the state dive qualifier meet. Kara Church placed 16th and
got her D1 provisional time for the 500 free with a time of
5:18.95. On the boys side of the pool, the 200 free relay (Jake
Ogden, Peter Lam, Jason Horn & Cole Truitt) placed 11th and
got their D1 provisional time with a time of 1:36.04. The 200
Medley Relay (Matt Petersen, Cole Truitt, Jake Ogden & Peter
Lam) placed 16th and got their D1 provisional time with a time
of 1:50.39. Great job to all the swimmers & divers. Our next
Invite will be at the High School Classic @ the U of A.
The team is finally starting to get healthy and almost had a full
team when they traveled to Sunrise Mountain. The team swam
much better and improved on over 85% of their swims but still
came up short to the Mustangs. The girls lost 87-89 and the
boys lost 68-117. Jake Ogden placed 1st in the 100 back on
the boys side. Abby Baker, Alyssa Stookey placed 1st in the 200
free & 50 free and Kelly Chuch placed 1st in the 500 free & 100
back. Jenna Rybarczyk, Jordan Sieglitz & Jerrika Wade went
1-2-3 in diving.
