Middle Atlantic Short Course Senior Champs Recap 3/20 to 3/22



Middle Atlantic Short Course Senior Champs Recap – 3/20 to 3/22

Week Two of Championships produced dramatic results!!

There must have been something magical in the water at the Gram Aquatics Center in York, PA because Jersey Storm’s senior group exceeded expectations.

Highlights of the meet included:

-           Kelsi Worrell earned top honors at the meet earning the High Point award (108pts).  She also set team records in the 50 Free (24.06), 100 Free (52.03), 200 Free (1:53.51), 100 Back (57.34), 200 Back (2:04.73), 100 Fly (56.09), 200 Fly (2:09.36) & 200 IM (2:07.86).

-           Julia England won back Batman (and wonder pig) for her courageous performance in the 200 Breaststroke and 400 Medley Relay.  For those who are wondering Batman (and wonder pig) is a senior group award for outstanding effort or determination.

-           The female 400 Medley Relay and 800 Free relay qualified for Region 2 Sectionals with Jersey Storm team records. Participants in the relays included: Danielle Caruso, Amanda Osterlind, Shelby Witham, Kelsi Worrell, & Taylor Worrell.

-           Taylor Worrell established a new record for the 11-12 200 Fly with a swim at finals of 2:22.49.  Taylor also established 11-12 records in the 1000 (11:22.56) & 1650 (18:41.35).

-           Jersey Storm swimmers encouraged and cheered their teammates (and NRG swimmers – of course) on the entire weekend.  If there was a spirit award Storm Coach Amy, Coach Michelle from NRG and I agreed we would certainly have been in the top 2!

-           Jersey Storm, being one the smaller teams at the meet, did not go unnoticed in the volunteer department either.  Our parents stepped up in a major way in helping the meet run smoothly.  Congrats to each of the families who made Storm look good!!

Thank you to everyone who participated!
