MAKO's Holiday Classic

Over the weekend 49 Seahawks braved the cold temperatures and icy roads to race in Oxford Ohio at the MAKOs Holiday Classic. We dropped over 1100 seconds over 288 swims, with 11 of those swims being the first time the swimmer had attempted that event! On Saturday we earned 28 finals swims before the finals session on Sunday needed to be cancelled due to weather. 

Thank you to our parent timers for volunteering to be on deck for the entire session, including some of the 1000s. Also Coach Matt would like to personally thank Walter Wood for all of his help cleaning up our team section on Sunday. Overall, it was another great weekend to be a Seahawk. 

Swimmers of the meet

Lucy Homm: Lucy did a great job racing events she is not used to without getting in her own head about it. She also crushed her best times in some events she swims all the time. 

Keegan McCuiston: Keegan swam his first 100 fly with enthusiasm, and finished it legally! From his confidence before the race we could hardly tell it was his first time swimming it. He also did a fantastic job cheering for his teammates.
