Stingrays,

Isn’t it over?  Why are we still getting emails from Coach Elise?   Well, our season is finished, but there are a few things I wanted to share with you.

First of all, some outstanding swims from our end-of-season invitationals:

     At Ponderosa, we won second place in the small teams division (third tier). 

     At Red, White and Blue we placed 5th overall.  Congratulations! 

Ponderosa finalists (these are my notes and could be off if the automatic timing system wasn’t working in some cases; official results are not available yet as far as I can tell) were:

     Ella Smoker won the 9/10 25 Breast and placed 2nd in IM, 4th in 25 free, 5th in back, 6th in 50 free, 7th in fly.  She was  runner up high point winner for her age group.

     Bethany Selz placed 2nd in back, 6th in IM, 7th in breast, 10th in 50 free, 12th in fly and 25 free.

     Our girls 9/10 medley relay (Bethany Selz, Sofia Luper, Ella Smoker, Clare Waterman) placed 3rd overall.

     Our girls 15/18 free relay (Gabi Greaney, Emily Hollenbeck, Angelica Aulbaugh, and Rachel Dexter) placed 4th overall.

     Emma Ruland placed 7th in fly, 11th in 50 Fr, 16th in back and IM. 

     Jack Hassan placed 10th in 25 breast.

     Gabi Greaney placed 13th in 50 fly.

     Sam Venker placed 15th in 50 fly.

I’d love to know how you (personally) did at RWB.

I would like to invite all Stingrays to come by the Stingrays pool on Thursday from 11:15 – 11:45 a.m.  You can pick up awards from Red, White and Blue and Ponderosa, have your photo taken (by your parent or teammate) with our team trophies, pick up your washed-and-about-to-be-donated lost and found items, and I would love to see you there!

Coach Elise
