This is a special congratulations for the SMAC Swim Team in winning the Small Team Boys, Small Team Girls, and Small Team Overall titles at the 2008 Short Course Age Group Championships this past weekend. The SMAC girls finished with 309 points which was the highest out of all teams in the small team classification. This also placed SMAC girls 9th overall in the state. The SMAC boys finished with 129 points to also capture the boys team title in the small team classification. SMAC finished with 438 points overall, which nearly doubled the point total of the next highest team in the small team classification, and put SMAC 14th in the state. As a point of comparison, we finished with 105 points last year at this same meet.

Another championship meet is in the books and with it came many more reasons to be excited about SMAC swimming. As I mentioned before, we had 9 swimmers qualify for and compete in this meet compared to just 2 last year. We are certainly on our way to making SMAC a team to look out for in the future. Congratulations goes out to the following swimmers for a great performance at the Virginia Swimming Senior Championships: Keegan Abar, Peter Bihl, Anna Corley, Daniel Corley, Megan DeSmit, Josh Dugan, Katie Keefer, Michael Mowen, and Alvaro Vega.

Here are some of the many highlights from this meet:

- 9 SMAC swimmers competed in this meet and earned 27 lifetime best times

Wow….I mean, WOW! The SMAC Swim Team was on a mission at the Blue Ridge Region Championships, and I think it’s safe to say…Mission Accomplished! Every time you turned around chances were you could a see a SMAC swimmer winning a heat, winning an event, taking chunks of time off, making a Senior Championship cut, or making an Age Group Championship cut. We may have went into the meet as a small group, but we certainly made a BIG statement. Congratulations to the following swimmers on a great meet at the Blue Ridge Region Championships: Peter Bihl, Olivia Heeb, Josh Dugan, Norah Hunt, Scout McDevitt, Carolyn McFarling, Jordan Miller, Tyler Randolph, Alex Rayle, Brazil Rule, and Robbie “The Beast” Turner.

Here are a few of the many highlights:

The SMAC Swim Team showed just how ready it was going to be for the championship season be putting on a strong showing at the 2008 BASS Winter Warm-up on February 2nd and 3rd. Not only was the participation in this team meet fantastic, but the performance of the SMAC swimmers was equally as impressive.

The first round of the Virginia Championship swim season is in the books with the conclusion of the Southwest District Championships February 16th and 17th, and what a great way to begin it was!

The SMAC Swim Team wasted no time celebrating the new year at the Lynchburg New Year’s YMCA Invitational. I feel confident in saying our swimmers are prepared to tackle new and bigger challenges in 2008 based on our success at this swim meet. Congratulations to the following swimmers for a great meet in Lynchburg: Lindsey Carter, Mackenzie Carter, Jeffrey Fife, Alexander Flowers, Norah Hunt, Michael McDevitt, Scout McDevitt, Hunter McMillon, Ty McReynolds, Jordan Miller, Luke O’Neill, Alex Randolph, Tyler Randolph, Brazil Rule, and Benton Turner
