GOLD wins Regionals!
Congratulations to all who competed at Regionals! Here is the synaposis of each group given by their coaches:
Age Group 2
I cannot think of a better overall group performance than what we had at the Regionals Champ. AG2 did an outstanding job. Even in the cold raining day!!
The group raced well over the weekends and produced strong finishes within the 10 & under and 11-12 age groups. As a group we achieved 142 life best times on 185 attempts had 10 new State cuts. In addition, we had 4 swimmers who were the first time state qulify. I was most proud of the improvements we made on our walls. Turns, streamlines, kickouts, and pullouts were significantly improved. Congratulations to all our swimmers who believe a great attitude and attendance will produce future achievements.
