SWIMMERS & DIVERS WIN OCC CHAMPIONSHIP!
Congrats to all of the athletes for great efforts yesterday at the OCC Champs. Also, my thanks to all that helped organize and work the meet. We got nothing but rave reviews from all of the coaches and parents that I spoke to about the meet. New Albany continues to put on a 1st rate Championships. The hospitality was very well done, the lobby area was very well managed with tickets and t-shirt sales, the computer table has some new blood learning the ropes and veteran workers leading the way, and was a great meet for the athletes with all that helped. The Girls won the meet very strongly, with 250 points ahead of 2nd place. With only one athlete swimming the maximum events, and allowing our JV a chance to swim, it worked out nicely for all to get a chance to race again before we head into the tournament. Diving competed on Friday bringing Place 1-4 to the meet before we even took one stroke on Saturday. The swimmers had many chances to work on details of their races as our taper continues these next few weeks. Congrats to the following for being OCC Champions. Jenna Young, Elizabeth Dengler, Franciska Mandy, Molly Dengler, Suzanne Sliwowski, Sarah Reynolds, Fanny Mandy, Olivia Barnes and Tara Farwana. While there were many others who didn’t win their races, but swam hard and had best times. Congrats to Jenna Young for a new team record in the 100 back. The Boys also won the meet very strongly, with 150 points ahead of 2nd place. Again having chances for all the athletes to swim was a goal and we were able to make that happen. Boys Diving also compete on Friday bringing place 1-4 to the meet on Saturday as well. Congrats to the following for being OCC Champions. Austen Sybert, Brian Barrett, Matt Gleason, Stuart Sliwowski, David Huddle, Gabe Dixson, and Alex Alfonso. Again not all can be champs, but certainly raced hard and contributed to the success of the team.
