Best at West
Dennis Wang, Toby Macabugao and Mia Ramos swam best times at the West Coast Aquatics meet held in the blistering heat on 6/27 and 6/28. For Dennis and Mia ,who have just aged up into new age groups, it was about working towards and beyond getting A time standards. Dennis improved times drastically in the breast stroke races receiving 2 new A times in his new age group. He also swam the 800 free in a perfect strategic race, descending 100’s throughout. All of his races were evenly split or negatively split. Dennis is a coaches dream. Mia Ramos, new to the team, showed that she is a thinking swimmer. Very competitive and willing to do what she is asked. She also swam best times in her races and received new A times. Toby Macabugao again shattered times. Placing first at the meet with a WZQT Western Zone Qualifying Time in the 50 breast. He also earned a Far Western cut in the 100 free and a JO cut in the 200 fly. These three swam well for a tough week at practice, with no rest and a tri-meet on Friday. I was very impressed with these three and no other team showed the streamlines and finishes our swimmers had. All three won numerous heats and took off a great deal of time off of their events.
