Summer Season Update!

Hey, TVA Families!

The summer long course season is just about over, and with that said, Tri Valley Aquatics had a great weekend this last week. The weekend started off early on Wednesday in San Jose at the Far Westerns Championships, which included Stephanie Doi, Thomas Gjerde, Jordan Reznick, and Nicole Doi.

            At the five-day meet (yes, FIVE days!), Stephanie and Thomas lead the team in best times, with three each. Stephanie swam personal bests in the 100 and 200 free, and the 100 fly. Thomas took down his own personal records in the 50 and 100 free, and 200 fly. Jordan took off six seconds from his 400 free, which he’d already dropped in a few weeks earlier at JOs. Niki had two best times, in the 100 and 200 free.

            While those four were competing in San Jose, Maria Carlson and Natalie Tang were representing TVA in Edmonton, Canada as part of the Pacific Swimming North American Challenge Cup Team. Maria had two best times throughout the meet (50 free, 200 breast), and took home bronze medals in both the 100 breast and 4x100 medley relay. Natalie also had two best times, in the 100 and 200-meter backstrokes.

            With summer just about winding down, only a couple of our swimmers are still in season. Wish Stephanie Doi and Thomas Gjerde good luck as they head off to Colorado to compete for Pacific Swimming as part of the Western Zones All-star team!

Keep it up!
