With the first morning of the Akron Invite in the books, the team is now resting and getting ready for this evening's finals. As I told the team on the bus, the first mornings of these meets when you're not rested is sometimes tough. We did dot have any swims that were utlerly bad but nothing that was extremely exciting. I will give the swim of the morning however, to Chris Kobela. For those of you that do not know Chris, he is our former school record holder in the 500 and 1650 freestyle. Oh, and by the way, a Luekemia survivor. This morning Chris had an awesome swim in the 500 free with a time of 4:42.55, only 8 seconds off his best time from three years ago. I am certain he will swim even faster tonight!! Some other swims of note include Annie Hayles and Amanda McClelland in the 500 free (5:05.56 and 5:09.65, respectively). Ed Leblanc in the 500 free (4:39.19). Miriam McGeath and Caitie Zajko in the 200 IM (2:09.25 and 2:09.79, resepcetively). Roman Becicka with a solid 1:53.09 in the morning's 200 IM, Meghan McGoldrick with a 24.26 in the women's 50 free and solid 50 swims from our men of 21.28 (Jim O'Hara), 21.38 (Brendan Schilling), 21.75 (Doug McWhorter) and 21.85 (Chad Houck).
The finals get underway this evening at 6 PM with the 200 free relay, followed by the 500 free, 200 IM, 50 free and finishing with the 400 medley relay. You can find all of the results at: http://www.gozips.com/fls/10800/zippyinvite/evtindex.htm?&SPSID=47074&SPID=4307&DB_OEM_ID=10800
See you around the pool,
Dave
