2009 Utah State Long Course Championships

Sunday, 2 August 2009

It has not been 24 hours since the end of the 2009 Utah State Long Course Championships and I am still very tired. Tomorrow I will be posting the results of the meet and wanted to let everyone know that the HAST swimmers, older and younger had a terrific meet. On the 14 and under side of things our Age groupers finished in second place, while the 15 and older kids took first place. As for the combined team title we were second. All the kids swam very well with many life time and seasonal bests by all the team members. There were many exciting races, especially on the last day. The 15 and up girl's 400 Free Relay team of Taryn Toolson, Kim Welch, Jamie Nebeker and Candice Smith started the night out for the older kids by "scorching" the field in a team record time of 4:04. All the young ladies averaged 1:01's. It was a great relay and we were significantly faster than we were one week ago at Sectionals. The entire 15 and up team rallied from behind Cottonwood Heights to win the meet by 4.5 points. Congratulations once again to all the swimmers for their heart and competitive spirit. Now its' on to the 2010 Short Course Season. The results tomorrow.
