This is my blog that follows swimming & diving in Winona MN and those Winonans that have left to swim elsewhere. Occasionally I will post items of info related to swimming & diving in general.

The demise of a meet.



Ok, in looking at the stats, for a “who cares this was crap” meet, there were some awesome times. 


DISCLAIMER - the timing system was started manually at the Starters whistle, just like a back-up stop watch. So in theory, they should be slower than actual, BUT, as you see below, that would make for some even quicker times. Comparing these times to the Team Asst stop watch times, they are not that far off.

The 200 A Medley Relay swam their 2nd fastest of the year, only 13 hundredths off their best.

The 200 Free saw Haley O’Neill swim her best time of the year and Greer Kosidowski swam her best of the year by a full 3 seconds.

The 200IM Alex Arnold and McKenzie Porter swam at their season highs.

The 50 Free saw Alex Zuelke better her fastest this year by nearly a half second matching the state qualifying time and Ashley Brommerich was right at her season low. 

The 100 Butterfly had Reese Galewski swim her season low by over a second, and Sami Johnson swam her season best.

The 100 Freestyle had Haley O’Neill win with a season best time by over a half second as did Ashlen Haines.

The 500 Freestyle featured Reese Galewski after requesting to be entered for the second time in a week and swimming a faster time then her previous outing.  

It would appear that while the two 500 free heats were taking place, the team lost its edge. 

With the DQ in the 200 Free Relay, the team lost focus and times after that point were not bad, but nothing to write home about. 

As posted earlier, this is where PMA and leadership need to jump in and kick start a team headed south. 

The meet was salvageable, all that was needed was focus and a spark!

Next up – Big 9 foe Owatonna, Thursday, be there!
