North Bay Aquatics Results
Zone III 2003

January 18-19, 2003


Swim Chicks: 11-12 Boys Relay
Rod Hesh, Dillon Moscone, Chris Packer, Shayan Sayadi

We survived another Zone meet... I always forget what an endurance contest that is for those swimming all 4 sessions until I go through it again. The chaotic energy and constant noise of the arena really is hard on everyone... but it is a forum that produces some great results. We ended up 3rd this year, moving up from 4th. and we come home with a very nice trophy which we will be at the TPC today. Since I am a numbers guy, I will try and break down the meet into stats that put everything into perspective.

New Far Western swimmers
Congrats to Laura Slater and Elizabeth Kamai for geting their first "Q" times and thus qualifying for the Far Westerns in April.

Thanks to Richard Beaumont, David Slater, and Britt Wilson for coming over to the meet just to swim relays... your dedication is very much appreciated.


Girls 13-14 Medley Relay
Nicole Lung, Lexie Jordan, Katie Brush, Sally Bellinger

Other Highlights

Nicole Lung- in true "Rocky" fashion, Nicole swam some relays the first night with an elbow that was way below 100%. The elbow kept her out of the meet the 2nd day. We needed her to make the "A" relay happen and she not only swam, but did a lifetime best split in the 100 fly helping us win the relay.

Fiona Duffy- I goofed before the meet informing Fiona thru my EMails that she was to swim a relay Saturday afternoon when in fact she wasn't (perhaps my motto should be "coaching with confusion"). She stuck around for it and was told basically at the last minute that it was not to be. I felt horrible that this occurred , but Fiona showed great maturity in letting her disappointment go and helped cheer on the relays. Plus, she had a great meet that was well deserved.

Swim Chicks- the 11-12 boys free relay (Dillon Moscone, Rod Hesh, Chris Packer, Shayan Sayadi) donned some caps that said "swim chicks" for their race on Sunday. 8 by 10 glossies will soon follow - check out the picture at the top of the page. It is great to see kids sticking their neck out a little bit.

Finally thanks to all the parents who timed and officiated in some capacity. We had a tremendous amount of help (including some of our swimmers who timed) and I can't thank you enough.
