The newly merged Sweet Home Swim Club and Mid Valley Swim Team competed Jan. 12-14 in the Corvallis, CAT Open swim meet.
Highlights or the team came from a number of swimmers, who dropped their times, some significantly, according to Coach Junia Calhoon.
Lana Crane posted new 10 & under State Championship qualifying times in the 8&under girls 25
freestyle and 50 breaststroke.
Naomi Gunselman qualified for age group Sectionals in the 11-year-old girls 50 butterfly.
Jayce Calhoon earned his second Senior Sectional qualification time in the
15-16 boys 200 backstroke.
And the 15 & over boys 400 freestyle and medley relays, with Kieran
Schaefer, Brinden Sanders, Joel Gunselman and Jayce Calhoon, also
qualified for the Age Group Sectional Championships, to be held March 23-25 in Federal Way, Wash.
Junia Calhoon said the largest time drop by far was posted by 14-year-old Michael Simmonds, who was named Swimmer of the Meet. Simmonds dropped a total of over 26 seconds in five events and earned himself the title of “Animal Of The Meet.”
The Swim Club has a last chance meet in Woodburn Feb. 3-4, which will give swimmers an opportunity to try for some final Sectional and State qualifying times.
“We are also very excited to have a large portion of our advanced swimmers competing at high school Districts and State under veteran coach Doug Peargin,” Junia Calhoon said.
