Outstanding swims at the Tualatin Hills Holiday Classic in Oregon!

JoAnna Woodward

Gold Medal made a travel trip to Oregon and it was well worth the trip! GM swimmers came home with lots of best times and lots of travel trip memories. Here are the results:

Blue Group

What a great trip! Such great experience for our younger swimmers to travel as a team and learn how to compete on the trip...it was an invaluable trip and something I hope we can do more of. Blue group swimmers especially performed well in finals, way to go!
