Good Afternoon WEST members/supporters/parents/fans,

wanted to start this WEST weekly by congratulating all 24 swimmers who competed in last week's PNS championships.  It truly was a great team effort, capitalized by our 6th place finish.  Of the 5 teams that beat us, 4 of those teams have 300+ members on their swim team.  We were so proud of everyone.  Participants included from Discover: Leo Zhang, Justin Limberg, Bryan Phung; Challenge 1: Alexa Coglas, Nicole Limberg, Annika Matthews, Nicole Limberg, Maddie Pressler, Michele Asmar, Alexis Nims, Caroline Kowalchuk, Jonathan Cook, Connor Brunke, Matthew Creagan, Edward Engel, Anthony Mikhail, Tarek Farouk, Bradley Zhao; Challenge 2: Ethan Forsberg, Ian Carpenter; Accelerate: Ashley Sawyer, Brianna Lucien, Lauren Cooley, Clara Cannon.  We also had several team records set:

Girls 11-12 200 medley and 400 medley relays; Boys 11-12 200 medley, 200 free and 400 medley relays;  Nicole Limberg: 100 and 200 breaststroke (11-12); Maddie Pressler: 100 freestyle (11-12); and Jonathan Cook: 200 breaststroke (11-12).  Complete results can be found here: http://www.pns.org/pnws2/__eventform__/201096_14uscchamps.pdf
