January Storm Recap

We ended 2010 on a great meet and started 2011 on a better one.  Last year 119 events had records broken, some by multiple people.  In our first meet of the year, 26 swimmers went down to Walla-Walla to participate in the 2011 January Storm and swam 121 best times, setting 12 new team records.  The Waves placed 2nd scoring 28.0 points per swimmer, losing to Tri-Cities who had 67 swimmers, and 23.6 points per swimmer. 

Those who took full advantage of Christmas Training really watched it pay off in both performance, and toughness.  Over the last few weeks we’ve been teaching the kids about race strategy, easy speed, and working on having better turns.  We got to watch that pay off at the meet.  It was really cool to see our swimmers start to race better and smarter.  Great work guys!  The coaches are getting pretty excited about what we’re going to do at Champs coming up in February.
