TVA makes finals at CA-NV Championships

Last week Tri Valley Aquatics swimmers competed in five-day California-Nevada Championships swim meet in Santa Clarita, CA.

Impressive swims came from Chris Dotson who, going into his third year at UC Santa Barbara this fall, pulled out Championship finals 4^th and 7^th place in two freestyle events. Swimming his life time best in all of his qualifying events. 50 Freestyle 23.69, 100 Freestyle 51.81 and 100 Butterfly 59.08.

Another TVA’s finalist was Maria Carlson, who dropped 6 seconds to get into Championship finals in her 200 Breastroke (2:39.69) and took 8^th place overall in the meet. Maria made the Bonus finals in the 100 breast and also swam her life time best in 100, 200, 400 Freestyle and 200 Individual Medley.

Stephanie Doi swam her life time best in 50, 100 Freestyle and 100 Butterfly as well as TVA’s Captain Natalie Tang swam her personal best in 50 Freestyle, and twice in the 100 Freestyle.

Not to forget to mention TVA’s relay swimmers Liz Reimer and Alex Torrez, both of whom swam their life time best times during the relays (100 free and 100 back). Experiencing the magnitude of this meet for the first time with great confidence.

Congratulations to all of our Sectional Championships swimmers on a great meet.
