In what was by far our most impressive dual meet of the year, we ended up on the short side of the team score against a very impressive University of Indianapolis swimming team. They are good, ranked Top 10 in Division II, and I have to admit, I love swimming teams that force us to swim our best at this point in the season. With that in mind, I did see signs of improvement, and now know that our dedication to hard work and training is paying off... I saw it in each of my swimmers races, and I continue to see it on the boards too.

A few highlights...

Kyle Weaver is starting to hit on all cylinders (pictured to the right). Popping a 22.6 for his 50 fly split, going 21.9 in the 50 (21.1 anchoring the relay) and wrapping up the day with a 53.4 in the 100 fly was a great way to end up the dual meet season!

Blaine Cooper-Surma continues to improve his in-season times with new bests in the 50 free (both flat start and relay) and his 100 free.

Clayton Craig returned from a minor injury on his foot to win the 1 Meter competition and finish 2nd on 3 Meter (pictured below)

Finally, a whole host of guys like Tim Deal, Zach Manker, Max Rubesch, John Kasey, and Brent Graham, although not winning their events, swam considerably better - and are winning us valuable depth points while showing they will have an amazing Conference Meet.

All in all, we continue to improve and show that this year is going to wrap up with an extremely exciting championship meet come February 8th!

Stay Tuned,
