Sectionals Recap
Sectionals Recap (March 3-6, 2022)
I want to say a big congratulations to the 2022 Spring Sectionals Team - They earned a 3rd Place Finish in the Medium Size Team Division!!!!! x teams were at Sectionals from all of California and Nevada.
We traveled down to Carlsbad in 2 Vans with 18 kids and 3 Chaperones. Thank you Kimberly, Robin and Aki for helping manage the troops, we can't do it without the help.
We had some really cold, windy and rainy weather and still walked away with some amazing swims, new cuts and a lifetime of memories! Pajama night, door decorating and make your own ice cream sandwich were some of the non - swimming highlights. I am super proud of these kids and the efforts they put in, especially on the last day relays. Well done BCS, way to show your grit!
High Performance Results
Jamie Brennan - 122 points - Jamie had a monster meet with some monster swims. Making finals and doing all the relays is a tough schedule.

Senior 4 - "THE DUDES" (in the eyes of Monique, as Alli was not there.)
These guys did such a great job, I am so proud of them. First Sectionals road trip, hanging with the older kids and kickin' some tail in the pool. It was so fun to have them around at this meet and they added a ton of value to the relay landscape. They also had some great Pajama's :) These two also helped out with the timing at the meet on Sunday. World Class Character Through Excellence in Swimming.
