On Saturday, December 19, 2015, nine Seahorses competed in the Sterling, IL, IM Tough Swim Meet. The 8 and Under swimmers competed in 50’s of all strokes, plus 100 IM and 100 Free. The 10 and Unders completed 100’s of all the strokes, plus 200 IM and 200 Free. The 11-12 swimmers completed 200’s of all strokes, plus a 400 IM and 500 Free. The 13 and Over swimmers completed 200’s of all strokes, plus a 400 IM and the 1650 (mile) Free.
While this was a tiring meet for the swimmers, it was a great opportunity for them to be able to swim events that aren’t always offered in their age groups. The following Seahorses swam nine new Regional Qualifying times at the meet:
- Landri Harmon in the 100 Fly and 200 Free
- Schyon Drolema in the 400 IM
- Skylar Drolema in the 400 IM, 200 Back, 200 Fly, and 500 Free
- Kate Henson in the 400 IM and the 200 Breast.
Congratulations to Gracen Harmon who swam her first 1650 yards (1 mile) Freestyle swim in 22 minutes and 45 seconds.
Jacob Allison, Zane Romero, Laney Edgeton, and Emily Henson also participated in the meet.
