2009 Sectionals

Friday, July 24 and Saturday, July 25, 2009

Yesterday Friday, July 24 the HAST swimmers celebrated the 24th in grand style. McKay made consol finals in the 100 back and a bonus final in the 100 fly. Candice made the consol finals in the 100 Back and Kim Welch made the big finals in the 100 fly. All swimmers swam really well. McKay has scored more points for the men's team then in recent past. Last check the boys (McKay) was tied for 33rd. The girls were holding steady in a three way tie for 17th.

On Saturday our events were the 200 IM, 50 Free, 1500 Free and 400 Medley Relay. All swimmers swam really well, just not well enough to get a second swim. The highlight of the day wasa Alina Fong's 1500 Free. Alina lowered the HAST team record by 49 seconds going 18:33.04. She also lowered her best time. In the end the girls finished in 20th position and the boys finished in 36th. The boys have finished in the twenty before, but the girls have never done this. Congratulations to all of our HAST swimmers for a great 2009 Sectionals. When I return home tomorrow I will put the results up from the last two days as well as some pictures from our trip to the Falls. Thanks to everyone for following this week's action. Look for the final HAST meet results tomorrow and Monday.
