2009 Jump Into Summer Twin A Meet at the U of M
Last Weekend was the wrap-up of the Spring Swim Meet Season. Being an "A" only meet, Ryan Whalen went to represent the Wizards in 7 events.
It was a tough meet, a number of the University of Minnesota swimmers were competing like Curt Carlson, Kevin Baseheart, Nico Zebley and our own Matt Papenfuss, who while wearing Maroon & Gold I am sure was a Wizard in spirit as well.
Ryan's results from this tough field were good. He is after all a sprinter, and he showed well against some major competition.
Event # 46 Male 100 Free 57.39L 24th place
Event # 50 Male 200 Back 2:32.63L 23rd place
Event # 54 Male 100 Fly 1:04.52L 23rd place
Event # 62 Male 100 Breast 1:15.51L 18th place
Event #102 Male 200 Free 2:11.88L 32nd place
Event #106 Male 100 Back 1:07.25L 13th place
Event #114 Male 50 Free 25.82L 8th place
The 8th in his specialty was up against the likes of Matt, AND :
1 Richards, Michael 19 MINN-MN 23.28 23.60 9
2 Carlson, Curt 20 MINN-MN 23.61 24.01 7
3 Miller, Steve 21 MINN-MN 24.42 24.39 6
4 Meeks, Devon 17 Tigersharks-MN 25.16 24.65 5
5 Baseheart, Kevin 20 UN-MI-MN 24.68 24.70 4
6 Papenfuss, Matt 19 MINN-MN 25.31 24.84 3
7 Johnson, Drew 17 Foxjet-MN 25.18 25.15 2
8 Whalen, Ryan 17 UN-WN-MN 27.50 25.82 1
So 4 of the first 8 places were swimmers for the U of MN. Way to show'em Ryan.
Matt's results for all his events were:
Boys 15 & Over 400 LC Meter Freestyle
4 Papenfuss, Matt 19 MINN-MN 4:21.76 4:21.13 5 29.97 32.89 33.22 33.59 33.22 33.29 33.47 31.48
Boys 50 LC Meter Freestyle
6 Papenfuss, Matt 19 MINN-MN 25.31 24.84 3
Boys 100 LC Meter Freestyle
7 Papenfuss, Matt 19 MINN-MN 55.92 54.86 2 26.45 28.41

Boys 100 LC Meter Butterfly
7 Papenfuss, Matt 19 MINN-MN 1:02.53 1:00.57 2
28.13 32.44
Matt will be spending the summer in the Twin Cities working out with his U of M team mates. Perhaps we will bump into him during the course of the summer.

This weekend's swimming
First and foremost, the Winona Water Wizards are off to Woodbury in the Twin Cities for the
SEMS & Mutual of Omaha’s ABC Open. It will be a big meet, nearly 200 swimmers in the Am and 100 in the afternoons.
The 8 - 12 year old swimmers compete Sat & Sunday morning. The Wolner boys, Grant & Griffin are back in the pool after a weekend off. McKenzie Porter makes it 3 meets in 3 weekends coming off a great 400M FR swim in the Twinvite and breaking the B barrier in her 100IM in the Northfield Dip into Spring. Saturday AM she is doing the 50 BK and then taking a stab at the 200IM. On Sunday she'll swim the 100BK and be joined by Brianna Beseler swimming the 500FR along with the 100FR and 50 BR.
The 13 & over swimmers, McKenna Marg, Reese Galewski, Grace Ell and Mallory Porter all returning after a fun weekend at the Twinvite III at the U of M. They'll be swimming a mix of speed events with Reese, McKenna and Grace doing the 100FR, and work horse outings , with Reese and McKenna in the 200IM, Reese the 100FL, McKenna & Grace in the 200BK. Mallory is still on her Fly kick doing the 100FL on Sat and the 200 fly (again?) on Sunday.
I will post results when they are available.

The 8 - 12 year old swimmers compete Sat & Sunday morning. The Wolner boys, Grant & Griffin are back in the pool after a weekend off. McKenzie Porter makes it 3 meets in 3 weekends coming off a great 400M FR swim in the Twinvite and breaking the B barrier in her 100IM in the Northfield Dip into Spring. Saturday AM she is doing the 50 BK and then taking a stab at the 200IM. On Sunday she'll swim the 100BK and be joined by Brianna Beseler swimming the 500FR along with the 100FR and 50 BR.
The 13 & over swimmers, McKenna Marg, Reese Galewski, Grace Ell and Mallory Porter all returning after a fun weekend at the Twinvite III at the U of M. They'll be swimming a mix of speed events with Reese, McKenna and Grace doing the 100FR, and work horse outings , with Reese and McKenna in the 200IM, Reese the 100FL, McKenna & Grace in the 200BK. Mallory is still on her Fly kick doing the 100FL on Sat and the 200 fly (again?) on Sunday.
I will post results when they are available.

Results of the Winona Water Wizards at the Twinvite III
Here are results for the Winona Swimmers:
Remember:
this is a 50 meter long course (MLC) meet so there are less flip turns AND a meter is 3.13 yards so the events are longer (except for the distance events, they shorten them from 500 to 400 and 1650 to 1500.)
All events were OPEN CLASS - meaning everyone was seeded and placed purely based on time, age was not included.

First Day at the Twinvite Meet at the U of M
The kids did great today. I love going to the U of M for swim meets. It is a great venue. Of all the times I have been there for meets and officiated this is the first when the bulk head had been moved to the end and it was set up as a 50 meter long course pool. It is the same length as our Bob Welsh Aquatic Center pool, but indoors in that natatorium, it can be an intimidating sight.
Being early in the season and starting with a new Team Manager data base, the Wizards are shy some seed times. So many are swimming in the early heats with NT seed times. Which makes it tough to be swimming with no one around you.
I was officiating, so I couldn't record times, I will report on those the next few days when the download is available. Suffice it to say the Winona Water Wizards represented themselve well. The parents were all sitting together in the stands and looked to be having a good time.
