News Digest: December 2007
SWIMFEST PSYCH SHEET PUBLISHED The psych sheet for the Paducah Swimfest is now available by clicking here. The psych sheet is produced by the host team who have converted the short course yard times we submitted to short course metre times. Since these times are quite meaningless to the athletes we use them as the 'time to beat' at the meet. The Executive Inn pool is only 6 lanes wide so warm ups are usually arranged in sessions. Our warm up lanes and times will be published as soon as we receive them.
Please note that the practice schedule for Friday, 28 December at the Carbondale Life Center has been corrected. Jedi, Group 1 and Group 2 will meet from 9:00-10:00a and Groups 3 & 4 will meet from 10:00-12:00p.
FALL TRAINING
SESSION ENDS FRIDAY The Saluki Fall training session will end on Friday, 21 December. The Winter session begins on Wednesday, 2 January. For current athletes who have reregistered for the Winter session we will have a modified practice schedule over the holidays.
Lousy weather didn't stop about 160 young athletes from testing their mettle at the very first Saluki Swim Your Own Age meet at Shea Natatorium. Teams from Illinois and Missouri took part in the short and fun competition. 15 Saluki turned in 22 improved National Age Group times including 3 first-time A swims. Michelle Park and Matthew McAuliffe got their first 'A's in the 50 fly and Kyle Walker got his in the 100 free. As always the full list of improved times will appear in the next Update. In a surprise sweep 7-year-old Katie Cully placed first in all four of her events. Other Saluki winners included Speed Davis (13) in the 100 back and 100 free, Trevor Jones (11) in the 50 fly and 50 breast, Halli Lincoln (9) in the 50 back and 50 breast, Darlene Sao (14) in the 100 fly and 100 breast, Derrick Snider (13) in the 100 breast and Michael Stone (12) in the 50 fly. Saluki thanks visiting teams for attending and those who helped run the meet. The Racing Team will be in action again at the Paducah Swimfest in early January.
