St Patty's 8 & Under Invite - SBU - March 1

Peter Smit

 

39 swimmers raced 137 times and swam 110 best times -- 80%.

Total time improvement 245 seconds, or more than 4 minutes!

This weekend marked our 3rd annual St. Patrick's Day 8 & Under Championship Meet! When Metro couldn’t host in 2022, we stepped up to keep the tradition alive—and what a celebration it turned out to be. Huge thanks to everyone who came out and brought the energy to make it unforgettable!

We had many exciting races and a nice little surprise fire drill. A big shoutout to our parents who volunteered at the meet! We could not have done it without you.

If you were present at the meet, I am sure you could hear the squeaking of the rubber duckies. Our youngest and newest swimmers swam really fast win their heat and get a rubber ducky!

Our 50 free girls had several top finishers. Caitlyn Clover touching the wall at 36.99 in 1st place! In 3rd, we have Zadie Severin who finished with a 39.33 and right behind her is Freya Miller coming in 4th with a 39.35! Great job girls! Joseph Nguyễn took home 1st place finishes in ALL four of his events. Declan Donnelly came in 1st place in the 50 Breast, out- touching his opponent by .29 with a time of 52.69! Myer Tan finished in 3rd behind him with a 53.96.

We had several rookie swimmers competing in their first swim meet: Sophia Aneiros, Ellie Donohue, Eric Lin, Eliana Valle, Declan Heidorn, Thivyan Majooran, and Jayda Rios.

Our 7 year old rookie, Declan Heidorn, was so excited to swim his event that he jumped in the first second he could to get a head start! Love the spirit. Jayda Rios finished top 10 in all her races and top 3 in 2 of them!

I am so proud of all of our swimmers who competed on the 1st of March. There has been a tremendous amount of improvement in their swims. Back in the beginning of the season in October at our first home meet, Ann Wycoff, we had a total of 33 DQ slips. My clipboard was over- flowing with yellow sheets of paper. I only received 17 this time and that is with more athletes, so we take it as a win. They have come so far already throughout the 2024-2025 season and we cannot wait to watch them continuously learn and grow in this sport!
