Championship Wrapup - Short Course State and Speedo Championships
Congratulations to all Orca Senior Swimmers who participated in the two championship meets offered last weekend. In Minneapolis, Coach Tom led the Orca Seniors to a 10th Place Division "AAA" finish and an 18th place overall finish. This meet will be continued this weekend as the Orcas bring the full force of their 14 and under program to bear at the Age Group State Championship held at the Rec Center Thursday through Sunday.
At the Speedo Champions Series in Pleasant Prairie, WI, the Orcas had an equally good result. The Orcas finished 1st overall in the Combined Team Standings and 2nd overall in both the Women's and Men's Team Standings. Competing against athletes from the University of Wisconsin/Madison, Harvard University, and the Peddie School, the Orcas hung tough throughout the meet and that tenacity provided an incredible result. Come and check out the trophies at the Rec Center!
Good luck to all Orca athletes this weekend - the Seniors have cleared the road for you - time for you to do your part and go to work! GO ORCAS!
