After a year's absence from the State Meet in Madison, WEEEE'RE BAAAAACK. And not in a small way. Colin Rice started the journey with a qualification in Diving Friday night At the Schroeder Aquatic Center. In preparation for his first trip to the pinnacle of high school swimming in WI, Colin was steady alll night with his dive scores! CONGRATS COLIN!
On Saturday, in the swimming portion of the Sectional meet at Cudahy High School, your the BD/USM swimmers did their best to follow Colins'lead. With 27 swimming opportunities on Saturday, our boys achieved 21 PR's.(Personal Records) in a sport wherer the best coaches will tell you a 50-60% rate of PR's at a season ending meet is a terrific season...my son told me that's about a 78% success rate. Every coach would be pleased with that...and in fact we a not only pleased...we are thrilled.
Joining Colin in Madison will be Steven Grambow who, after dropping an astounding 21 seconds in his 500 Freestyle last season, dropped an equally impressive 14 seconds to place himself as the 9th seed in Madison. (equally inpressive because the faster you get, the harder it is to get faster) Steven swam a near-perfect race in his 500 Free Saturday, narrowly missing out on first place at Sectionals. CONGRATS STEVEN!
The final event of the day presented one more chance for qualification for our motivated athelets. The 400 Free Relay needed to drop considerable time to make it through, and they succeeded with flying colors. Jim Jens, Steve Lillie, Steven Grambow and Billy Wong will represent BD/USM at the State meet as well. CONGRATS GENTLEMEN!
There are many more highlights from our terrific meet Friday and Saturday....they will come in the next posting....THE COACHING STAFF CONGRATULATES OUR ENTIER TEAM! With a JV Confrence Championship, a 4th place team finish at Sectionals and a trip to Madison....YOU ARE THE BEST!
Happily...we're not done yet...stay tuned...
