Weekly Email:  January 25-29, 2016 -- UPDATE


As if that email wasn't long enough - I forgot a few things!
 
1st - Peyton is also very close to qualifying for state.  Anything can happen at the region meets! Yikes.
 
2nd - I forgot to include a couple of pictures from the Highland Invite - take a look!

3rd - I wanted to report on the meets last week:
 
At the Ogden Invite, it was fun to swim in a new pool, and win so easily. It was a confidence booster.  
 
It was scored as 2 dual meets.  Both of these teams are in our region.
 
Boys:
  • EAST 130 Ogden 36
  • EAST 117 Bonneville 57
Girls:
  • EAST 122 Ogden 46
  • EAST 110 Bonneville 60

At the Highland Invite, the competition was a little stiffer, with some 5A schools.
  • Boys:  EAST was 5th of 11 teams
  • Girls:  EAST was 6th of 10 teams
  • Combined: EAST was 5th of 11 teams
The swimmers of the meet at the Cedar Invitational were:
Emma Robinson for getting in there with her injury and still swimming
 
Adam Oveido for driving down to Cedar on his own (with his Dad) even though he was sick, so he could participate on the 2nd day.
 
Thank you Emma and Adam for being great team members!

The swimmers of the meet at the Ogden meet were:
Ian Ashworth for dropping bunches of time in both of his events:  200 Free -6.89 seconds and the 100 Free -1.39 seconds!
 
Allison Buhler for dropping time in both of her events AGAIN: 100 Fly -1.88 seconds and the 100 Back -.8 seconds!
Congratulations Ian and Allison!

Take a look at the 4A  top50 (utswimcoach.com) to see where the East swimmers are placed.  Unfortunately, the Highland invite is not included in there, but it still gives a good idea of what the 4A competition is. Pretty tough.

Hang in there everyone!
