VPSC October Invitational Write Up

Our Senior swimmers headed to UBC and participated in the VPSC Fall Invitational.  This meet was the second of the season and the first chance to set bench marks in many of the 200m events!  Congratulations to the following highlights from the weekend.

• Christian E dropped time across three different events: 100m IM, 50m Fly, 200m IM
• Matthew H showed strongly in his 200m events going best times in the 200FR and 200BK, as well as his 100BK
• Kelan Z backstroke was strong across the weekend notching two new personal events.
• Ella L dropped nearly 3 seconds in her 200m Free
• Matthew S  won the 100BR with a best time as well as a new PB in the 100FR

While swimming faster is always part of the goal, all swimmers should remember that the process is the most important part of getting faster. It is still very early in the season and swimmers must focus on daily habits, including: stroke counts, breathing patterns, attendance along with their effort to achieve their goals for the season and not just a single meet.  Coaches encourage swimmers to stay buckled down and plan ahead (work on skills) of what it will really take to be successful for the season and not just a “training meet”  Opportunities are still ahead.  Go Knights Go!!!
