Swim Preliminaries

May 4th was swim preliminaries. Every school in the league swims and the top 12 qualify to swim in finals. It's important to qualify because everyone who swims in finals earns points for their school. Chaffey was undefeated going into finals so as long as everyone did what they were capable of, and there weren't any surprises we knew we would do well.

Tyaan swam her usual 4 events and placed top 6 in all of them. All the Chaffey swimmers did really well and they went into finals with everything looking good.

Here is the video of their 4x50 medley relay. This is the first event of the meet so it's a great way to get everyone pumped up for the rest of it. Chaffey is in lane 3, right next to Don Lugo who is our closest competition. Tyaan swam butterfly and goes in 3rd on her team.




Tyaan gained a lot during her leg of the relay and Chaffey won fairly easily. The rest of the meet went as expected. Tyaan won the 200 free, leaving her undefeated in that event all season. Her times for the meet were:

4x50 Medley Relay :32
200 Free 2:22
100 Fly 1:15
4x100 Free Relay 1:02
