Pac Coast Recap After waking up before 5 AM, and loading up the two 15 passenger vans, we were off to Seattle to race at the 1990 Goodwill Games pool.

Brining 24 kids, we...

Eight swimmers braved the uncertain forecast and headed down to Lewiston for the Fazzari's Invitational. After a cool morning, Saturday turned into a beautiful day, with temperatures in the high 80's and some off and on wind.
