Swim Invitationals is the regional swim meet with all 8 teams in the league competing. Each team gets to enter their fastest 4 swimmers for each age group for freestyle and their fastest 2 swimmers for each age group for each of the other strokes.
Due to a computer error, all of the Sharks team swimmers ended up without recorded times for seeding into heat. Therefore all the Sharks were defaulted to swimming in the second heats. That means there was always an additional heat after the one they swam in, that typically had faster swimmers in it. And that is why it will look like AJ takes several first places, but doesn't end up placing first when his times were matched up wtih times of all the swimmers in all heats.
Lia freestyle - first lane on the left (finishes 12th overall)
AJ freestyle - first lane on the left (finishes 4th overall)
Lia backstroke - first lane on the left (finishes 12th overall)
AJ backstroke - first lane on the left (finishes 5th overall, even with the hiccup of hitting the rope)
Anna freestyle - farthest lane on the right (finishes 22nd overall)
AJ breaststroke - closest lane (finishes 5th overall)
Anna butterfly - closest lane (finishes 10th overall)
AJ butterfly - closest lane (finishes 4th overall)
Lia holds her own in the first leg of a graduated freestyle relay
Until next summer...Go Sharks!
