13 PAC Records at All- Stars and CAT Open

Jan 11, 2010

 

This weekend over 60 PAC swimmers competed at the CAT A/B Open in Corvallis, OR and the Pacific Coast All- Star meet in Cerritos, CA with PAC breaking 13 team records and achieving over 200 best times.

At All- Stars our swimmers competed every well considering they had to get up at 4 am on Saturday morning, travel to California, compete in the afternoon, eat and sleep in a hotel with swimmers and coaches they may not have known very well.  Then they got up the next morning early to compete again against some of the fastest swimmers on the west coast!  Our swimmers each had multiple best times and helped Oregon finish 5th overall.

At CAT our team finished third behind LOSC and the host team CAT!  Again, many of our swimmers were competing at a high level meet for the first time, stayed in hotels and experienced some very fast swimming at an very competitive post holiday meet.  We achieved numerous new 'A' times and nearly 200 best times!  Photos from Wendy Fleming!
