Far Westerns a Success for Vaca Swimmers!

From Coach Wedaman:

Far Westerns is one of the oldest age group championship meets in the country at over 50 years of age.  It has very fast time standards and attracts swimmers from all over the country and from Canada, Mexico and Japan.  This year the weather has outstanding and the swimming was fast.  We had three swimmers attend the meet Tim Lee, Abby Mitchell, and Jalen Lloyd. Tim competed in 7 events the 50, 100, 200, 500 free, 100 back, 100 and 200 fly; Jalen Lloyd swam the 100 breast; and Abby Mitchell competed in the 100 and 200 breast.  They all swam fast and enjoyed and learned about this next level of swimming. 

Tim made the finals (top ten in each event) in the 50, 100 and 200 Free.  He was 6^th in the 100 Free with a 49.17, which is also a new team record!  He was 7^th in the 50 Free in a time of 22.61 and 10^th in the 200 Free in a time of 1:48.04 which are both lifetime best times.

Congratulations to our three Far Western swimmers! Congratulations to Tim on his new team record!
