WEST Weekly

Dear WEST swimmers, parents and members,

With holidays right around the corner and several championships meets this past and coming weekend, this is a very exciting time!
 
Championships Meet Recap
Congratulations to all the WEST swimmers that competed at 14 & Under PNS Champs. We had some great swims, many finalists and lots of best times. WEST swimmers Nicole Limberg and Jon Cook competed at USA Junior Nationals in Austin, Texas. Both made finals in the 100 and 200 Breaststroke and finished as high as 9 th and 12 th place. In the 200 Breast, Jon is currently ranked 6 th nationally and Nicole is ranked 14 th in their respective Age Groups as of yesterday. This is a testament to their hard work and determination and we are all very proud of them.
