• Osprey Aquatics – Women’s 400Y Freestyle Relay

Coach Dave Kilmer’s College Area Swim Team claimed the overall first place team trophy by just 3 points over the runnerup Walnut Creek Aquabears and 13.5 points over 3rd place Pacific Swim.  Jessica Heim from CAST was the Women’s top scorer, and her teammate Brandon Meier was the High-Point winner on the Men’s side.  Day 4 event results, Team and Individual scores are available at the link:

The weather for the start of the 2010 Senior Classic couldn’t have been better… and we had a wonderful sunset during the final heats of the 1000 yard freestyle.  Eric Hedlin from NCA set a new meet record in the 1000 free with a blistering time of 9:20.27 – congratulations!  Thanks to all for putting up with a technical “challenge” during the early heats.  Results are available at the link:

Team job assignments for this weekend’s LSC-hosted Senior Classic have been announced – see the link.  Thanks to Heartland Swimming Association for volunteering to do check-in and North Coast Aquatics for stepping up and putting together an 11th-hour hospitality plan.  As always at the Senior Classic, there are no assigned lane timing assignments, so volunteer timers are always needed!
