Five Sessions in the Books…One to Go…
Good afternoon all,
For those of you that have been following the Bison this season, I can tell you that each of these swimmers is making you quite proud here in Knoxville, Tennessee. I want to apologize for not posting any messages sooner; the week has been filled with activity and evaluation of each of the individual’s performances. Rest assured everything is going better than anticipated…
We are headed for our sixth and final session of the week and there so many highlights for each individual that this update surely can not hold them all. Here is a quick rundown of this morning and what we can expect tonight:
Chelsea Andrews – TOP 8 IN THE 100 FREESTYLE!!! Let’s see what she can do this evening against the best in the conference!
Polo Edwards – represented the team admirably in the 1650 – so proud of our captain!
Alyssa Rogers (200 breast,) E’lan Brewer (100 free,) Summer Davis (200 fly,) Cassy Evans (100 free) and Lauren Anthony (100 free) - all best times in their respective events for the day! That’s seven for seven for the women on the morning!
Jules Graham and Brad Worrell - TOP 8 IN THE 100 FREESTYLE!!! The men will be gunning for low times and high points this evening against five Davidson Wildcats and one VMI Keydet!
Damjan Strbac – best time in the 100 freestyle earns the junior another swim, as finishes 14th from the morning!
Kelvin Goodman – drops 7 seconds in his 200 breaststroke to get him 9th for the morning! Outstanding!
Charles Canady – represented the Bison proudly in the 1650, battling from 10 seconds behind his closest competition to not only pass him, but beat him by three seconds. Exceptional work by the junior! We’ll see him tonight, again, in his 200 breaststroke.
Omar McKenzie, Justin Morrison and James Washington - dropped a combined 11 seconds in their three 100 freestyles. Just terrific racing from all three!
Zadok Isaacs, Steven Lott and Darien Washington - had three nice tune-ups in their 200 backstrokes and, due to their smooth execution, each will swim for points this evening in the consolation heat!
More analysis and times will be sent your way! For in depth results, please visit the conference’s website at http://www.ncswim.org/ccsa/2010/
I can’t tell you how great this team has been! There promises to be more excitement this evening as Howard looks to close out the season with a bang!
LOUD NOISES!!! LOL
Congrats to all and especially you Coach Matt. I know that feeling when one of your swimmers hits the high mark(CJ at 10 at the AAU jr.O in the 50m)and I thank GOD for blessing you with that moment and all the others throughout the meet. I know it is not the DREAM job you seek but your time in his program is highly appreciated as you are giving LIFE to this sport in our community of HBCU’s and that to is a blessing from GOD. Thank you for taking the time to inspire our children.
We are sooooooo proud of all the Howard swimmers!!
