Getting Rowdy and Racing

              This past weekend 28 GTSA swimmers traveled to Winter Haven, FL for the Winter Haven Stingray’s “Get Rowdy and Race Meet.”  The 3 day meet was full of fantastic swims from GTSA members.  The team had a best time percentage of 77% on the weekend, with countless swimmers finishing with 100% personal bests.

                GTSA finished the 20 team meet in 10^th place accumulating 347 points over the three days.  Multiple GTSA swimmers contributed to the point scoring, but three swimmers really stood out.  Jeffrey Smith finished the weekend in 2^nd place in the 6&under high point race.  Ally Donahue also captured 2^nd place in the senior girls high point race.  Meanwhile GTSA’s Morgan Tankersley won all 10 of the events in which she participated on her way to winning the 13-14 girls high point award.

                The meet was a great success for all GTSA swimmers.  The coaches were so proud of all of the swimmers effort and team spirit.  GTSA will return to action on October 12^th at the 2013 Nike Classic.
