2005 CCS
With the largest showing in school history (15 swimmers), the meet was
a showcase of what SI Swimming has become in the past 4 years. After just
breaking into the team scoring in 2001 with 5 points, the SI team has
been steady climbing the leader board. With last years 6th place finish
and 111 points, the 2005 team goal was to crack the Top 4 and take home
a team trophy.
At the end of a long day with the team captain and master relay anchor
headed to her Senior Prom in the City, the news came out that SI had finished
a very contentious team title with goals met - 4th Place and 157 points.
This matches the best showing the school has had on both men's or women's
teams as the 2001 & 2002 Men's Team finished 4th as well.
All-American Automatic!!!
The 200 Free Relay team of Natalie Schwab, MacKenzie Campbell, Mallory
Ryan and Francesca Lollini attained the automatic time standard. This
is first for SI girl's swimming and I'm told by some seasoned swim coaches
the first in the City.
A truly huge accomplishment that won't sink in for a long time.
Team Records
A total of 8 (of 11) new school records fell over the weekend. A brief
run down (if you can be with 8 records):
200 Medley Relay set a new school record of 1:51.68. This is more than
a second under the All-American Consideration (AAC) time. Probably won't
make the Top 30.
- 200 Free - Mallory Ryan lowered her own school record with a time
of 1:57.14.
- 200 IM - Ruthie Dimagmaliw lowered her own school record with a time
of 2:13.58.
- 50 Free - Francesca Lollini lowered her own school record with a time
of 24.11. The time is well under All-American Consideration and we are
hopeful this will make the All-American team. Final results won't be
know until late July 2005.
- 100 Fly - JC Sheppard lowered her own school record with a time of
58.32. Also under All-American Consideration by 0.07. Believe it of
not, probably not fast enough to be All-American but still a very fast
swim. She still has one year left!
- 100 Free - MacKenzie Campbell broke Francesca's school records twice
and finished with a time of 53.47. Fast? Yup!
- 200 Free Relay - All-American for sure!!! Splits: Natalie 25.11, MacKenzie
24.34, Mallory 25.01 and Francesca 24.04. Wow!
- 400 Free Relay - Hands down the biggest surprise of the meet. Long
been the Achilles heal for the team, the last event of the meet is always
a test of will over might. With a time of 3:43.00 at WCAL Trials, the
team of Mallory, MacKenzie, Lyndsie Delleria and Francesca shattered
the old school record with a time of 3:36.75 (54.2 average). This is
almost 4 seconds under All-American Consideration. It would have made
the cut last year but will be very close this year. Fingers crossed.
Onto the Awards Banquet this Tuesday. We send out final team results
later this week and also when the All-American team is announced.
All the best. Greg
