Another SOLID victory for the Liquid Lancers. After a 9300 yard practice the day before, the boys stepped up and had some great swims. Drew Lonneman even had lifetime bests in all his races!!! It was fun to see guys compete in events they normally don't swim as well as watching some swimmers pull some difficult doubles in back to back races. The final score for those of you interested was 323-85. More fun to come next week when HELL runs into full stride! Our next dual meet is St. Xavier on January 6th.

Week #8 (Dec. 14 - Dec. 20)
Monday: Swim Only Meet vs. Lakota West @ Lakota YMCA (3:15/4:00pm)
The team won (97-73) a sloppy meet with some great performances though! We now have 5 swimmers under 2:00 in the 200 Free! It was nice to see people swimming non-normal events and doing fairly well. Did anyone get the liscense of the truck that fell on Matt E the last 10 yards of the 100 fly? :-) One of the great things this team is developing is the ability to swim multiple lineups competitively. This needs to continue the remainder of the season as we search for everyones BEST events for GCL, Sectionals and beyond! Congrats on a win, although we have many things to improve on. Let's get ready for the BEST OF THE WEST!!!
Tuesday: Practice @ Twin Towers (5:30-7:30pm)
Wednesday: Practice @ Twin Towers (7:00-9:00pm)
Thursday: Best of the West @ Oak Hills (Dive 4:00/4:30pm) @ Gamble Nippert Y (Swim 6:00/7:00pm)
While we didn't finish where we had hoped to at Best of the West, I was very pleased overall with our performances. More than half of the swims were season best times (many personal bests). Among these swims were performances by Mark Specker 200 IM & 100 Fly, Drew Lonneman 50 Free & 500 Free, Joe Scherpenberg 200 Free, Ryan Holter 100 Fly, and Evan Berling 500 Free. These gentlemen achieved lifetime bests in their respective races. Also, Joe Gillespie earned a 2nd place finish in diving with a great performance.
Friday: Practice @ Twin Towers (5:30-7:30pm)
Saturday: Swim & Dive Meet vs. Wyoming @ Powell Crosley YMCA (2:30/3:30pm)
Our final meet in a busy last 7 days! While the score did not work in our favor (Lost 139-171), we didn't swim our best dual meet lineup. We wanted some individuals to have an opportunity to swim events they don't usually swim. Overall, we were pleased with our performance. Wyoming is potentially one of the top 5 D2 teams in the state this year. We swim them again on January 13 and we WILL swim a loaded lineup. This should prove to be a very exciting meet. Once again our divers showed improvement with Joe Gillespie leading the way with a 1st place finish. Also, congrats to Tyler Vidourek and Nathan Laux who both eclipsed the 100 point scoring barrier! This was Nathan's FIRST dive meet too!!!

This was a hearbreaking loss (53-49). This was a team effort that definitely will turn some heads of coaches around the city! I am very proud of the accomplishments of the team and hope to gain redemption on Oak Hills at the Best of the West!
