Alex was just outside gettng a second swim in the 50 free with a 26.3 - 26.2 made it back - so that is all for Schroeder at this year's summer nationals in Irvine. The men are in 32nd place but that may change a little after tonight's finals session.
What do you do after a good summer season of training and racing and you are in SoCal? You go to Dave's friend's house and ride mountain bikes or hang out at the beach and have a barbeque and watch the Super Moon rise up over a world class beach!
Ashlyn moved up in the C Final and swam to a near best in the 100 M back 1:02.67 - great work for outside and what a great year! Nick swam just .03 slower than his fine prelims swim and Adam raced in the B Final but was pretty gassed. The guys had to get right back at it in the 4 x 100 MR with just two heats of women and finished just out of the scoring at 17th. The women, had they been able to duplicate their effort...
The backstrokers were back to it today in the 100. Ashlyn in in the C Final with a 1:02.8, Nick in the C with a 57.7 and Adam in the B with a 55.3. Great swimming!
Geoff Mykleby swam to 3rd place at the World Masters Championships in Montreal, Canada with a time of 33.2 in the 50 M back! Finishing 3rd is amazing, finishing 3rd after a major scare with cancer and a surgery that zapped his upper back just 14 months ago makes it even sweeter! Two days ago Geoff came 2nd in the 100 M back at 1:11.9 for the Silver medal! Let's see those medals!
Schroeder kept it rolling tonight with three fine efforts in the 50 Back. Ashlyn moved up to second in the C Final, Nick moved up to 6th in the C Final and Adam grabbed 8th in the Champinship heat. Three very fine backstrokers! Tomorrow the same trio extends to the 100 M back and the men have a Medley Relay.
Another good session on Day 3 in Prelims. Nick was out very fast in the 100 Fly and suffered toward the end of the race and did not get a second swim (55.5). Ashlyn and Nick both are in the C Final of the 50 M Back and Adam is 7th in the 50 M Back. All three had some trouble with sun and hitting the lane line so tonight may be better!
