The gang lived up to the UMass tradition of tough final morning swims as we placed numerous swimmers in the evening session.
The day started out with a bang as Andrew, Max, and Kyle finished 1-2-4 in the 200 Back to set the tone for the morning. Kyle’s effort (1:50+) was three seconds better than his previous lifetime best!
Trevor Ziegler
We followed that with Juan, Trevor, and Chris Howard all hitting top 8 in the 100. Trevor’s 46.1 was an incredible swim considering he’s been out of competition for two years. Pete Sacco also went a 46.5 to finish tenth. Jorge Fortin time trialled the 100 after the session in 46.8 so we’ve got some freestyle sprint depth going here!
The 200 Breast was a bit of a struggle as Dan Backler swam a 2:06 to final but Brian Schmidt continued to try but couldn’t make it back for tonight.
The 200 Fly saw Mike Berthaume and Tim Smith cruise with fairly nice swims into the big heat tonight.
We also have three time defending 1650 Champion Justin Brooks and last year’s runner-up (Joe Sbordon) leading off things at the final session of the meet this evening.
We’re looking good and pumped up for another celebration!
