LY Swimming;Central Virginia's Finest Over 48 Years of Local Swimming Success 
Fun in Chattanooga!
With trips to Rock City, the Tennessee Aquarium, white water rafting on the Ocoee, dinner at the City Café, and a night at the movies seeing UP in 3D, swimmers still had time to squeeze in some fast swims at the Chattanooga Invite.Ashley Jennings and Jake Richardson battled for the title of “most seconds dropped” with Ashley dominating with a drop of 161 seconds, while Jake finished the meet with 113 total seconds dropped. Kelsey Naylor, meanwhile, had never swum a long course meet before but nabbed three 7th place finishes and one 6th place finish in the 10 & under girls’ events. Devin Creger swam his first ever 400 IM, earning the 11-12 IM Tough shirt as well as picking up an “A” time. Andrew Cook improved his 400 IM by 31 seconds, while Blake Proffitt managed to shear off time in his 400 IM though he had just swum it a few weeks ago in Spartanburg. Carter Head took more than 5 seconds off his 800 meter freestyle, while Sarah Fredericksen dropped 13 seconds from hers, and Hunter Morris picked up an A time in his first ever 800 meter freestyle swim. Haley Jennings dropped over 6 seconds from her 100 meter breaststroke, while Chelsea Law took 11 seconds off her 400 meter free. Ainsley Reed won the 13-14 girls’ 200 meter breaststroke, while Logan White brought home 6 first place finishes in the 13-14 boys. Ashley Mauzy sped to two new team records in the 11-12 girls’ 400 meter IM and the 200 meter butterfly.Swimmers on the short bus learned the Weenie Man Song, while those riding with TJ had no comment. Short bus swimmers also raved over their new found love for IMs of all kinds, both 200s and 400s, while swimmers riding with TJ had no comment. Swimmers on the short bus played cards, challenged each other to quiz competitions, swapped riddles and generally made the time fly by. Swimmers riding with TJ had no comment. But, no matter wh
ere they rode, all swimmers agreed that the trip was fun and the only thing to make it better would be MORE LY swimmers coming along!Congratulations on the good swims and thanks to those LY swimmers who went for their excellent behavior and enthusiastic attitudes.
ALL HANDS ON DECK!
Calling all volunteers - LY will be hosting the Firecracker Invitational at Miller Park on Friday, June 26th through Sunday, June 28th. We'll need the usual help from our officials, as well as folks willing to work as timers, heat sheet sellers, result and award posters, etc. We'll also need help setting up on Friday, including installing the blocks in addition to getting the timing equipment all in place. Sunday, we'll need help taking it all apart again. Thanks in advance for your willingness to ensure a successful meet for our swimmers!
