  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!

With the Good Year blimp circling above and on a perfect night for swimming, Ashlyn crushed it in the 200 Back breaking her on Team Record and setting a new State mark in the process.  Her time now stands at 2:14.85. Tomorrow Nick goes the 100 Fly and Ashlyn and Adam are in the 50 Back.

  BY ALAN GOLDBERG//COMPETITIVEDGE.COM     THE PROBLEM I was talking to a swimmer just this morning who shared with me a familiar, incredibly frustrating story. She was very close to her Olympics Trials cut for the last Olympics and hoping to make the team to represent her country. Everyone around her – her teammates, coach, parents and even this athlete herself – were convinced she'd qualify. This was because she was easily doing the time in practice.    However, with each meet that went by, she kept missing the...

Ashlyn moved into the C Final in the 200 back with a very fine 2:15.13 - under her own record time.  Alex raced a good 200 free and while she moved up the rankings, she did not get a second swim.  Adam and Nick raced well in the 50 M fly.  Nick just narrowly missed getting a second swim.

  Bad news / Good news is the story from day 1 prelims.  Last night while warming up Hannah really jammed her hand into the lane line.  She iced and wrapped the hand and tried this morning and then went to urgent care after her race.  Spiral Fracture of the metacarpal - that's the bone in the hand that connects to the ring finger.   Ashlyn swam to a best in the 100 Free at 57.5 and Alex is back in the C Final at 56.4.  The men have a...

  Former Schroeder Masters Coach and standout swimmer Bernie Zeruhn joined five others in a record attempt for a relay across the English Channel.   Read more and obviously Bernie is still good at swimming!

  Alex led off with a good swim at 56.2 in the C final and dropped .2 from her morning effort.  The boys grabbed 13th in the 4 x 100 Free Relay at 3:30.24 Nick 52, Adam 51, Trevor 53 and Wes 53. Tomorrow, Alex is up in the 200 M Free, Ashlyn has the 200 M back and then Nick and Adam are in the 50 M Fly. Unfortunately, Hannah's fracture has caused her to withdraw from the meet and she's headed home for some well earned R &...
