The TWIM wave swept through the 14th Annual BAM Fest SCY Meet at Bainbridge Island on Saturday and delivered yet another spectacular performance!
Our beloved Coach Heather was at the helm and led us to victory, providing great coaching and great feedback on all of our swims! Thanks Coach H!
Here is the cavalcade of all stars:
The Unstoppable Betsey Kassen, one of the best age group freestylers in all of USMS, captured all firsts in all of her events- The 50, 200 and 500 Free! Awesome Betsey! She also conquered the tricky turns in this pool better than any of us-
Jill Jordan, back from a Hiatus, powered through 5 races, the 50, 100 and 200 Free, not to mention the 50 Fly! She took first in the 50 Free. She also swam for the greater good of PSM by anchoring the multi-team 200 free relay in grand style. Welcome back Sister Jill- you’re looking strong!
The hard-charging Tom Fritschen found his new love, the 200 Free. He shaved nearly 7 seconds off his seed time and reports that it was the easiest swim he’s ever done. Watch out world, this guy is our up and comer! Tom also knocked down the 50 Free and 100 Back with power-
Jenny Ferries, our newest member, bettered her seed time in both of her races, the 50 Breast and the 500 Free. She shaved more than a minute off her 500 Free. I’m telling you ladies and gentlemen, this lady is a force to be reckoned with!!!
The illustrious Carl B. Haynie did the “Haynie Thing” and took first in all of his three races of course- the 50 Back ,50 Breast and 100 Back. Carl came within 3 tenths of a second of setting a PNA record in the 100 Back- all in a day’s work for Mr. Haynie but we’re all amazed, as usual-
Yours truly took firsts in the 500 Free and 100 Back and I bettered my seed time in 4 out of my five races- the 200 IM, 500 Free, 100 IM, 100 Breast and 100 Back. According to the aforementioned Mr. Haynie I swam “ another animal-grade line up and looked good doing it” He probably needs to have his vision checked 🙂
In summary it continues to be an honor, an inspiration and a privilege to swim with you gifted and determined swimmers!
See you in November at SCM Champs at KCAC!
Up with TWIM!!!
