It was an excellent winter break with amazing training, that has set us up for us to be Awesome in January and February.
The TIDE came out of winter break training where we had 2 and half weeks of great uninterrupted work. We put that great work to use by defending the Rock County Championship with a new record for points scored, winning 7 of the 11 events, two meet records in the free relays, and great team work. We tied Milton for most championships and championships in a row.
Friday Night the TIDE swam past Janesville Parker 108-62, and gave #1 (WISCA coaches poll) Madison West a good meet, losing 114 -56. Score doesn't show how close most of the races were. This meet gave us a chance to see the team swim outside their regular events. We found out a lot about our team Friday, that we are deeper and stronger than they thought. Our team is now stronger, deeper and tougher than ever.
Saturday the TIDE finished 15/30 at the Marquette University High School invitational at the Walter Schroeder Aquatic Center. Even though it was the 3rd meet in 3 days the team swam faster than on Thursday night. Proving we can swim fast tired. Our 200 Free Relay of Adrian Sowicz, Kyle Raisbeck, Will Klobucar, Nathan Sill swam the 7th fastest time in school history and it's not February yet.
Again our program philosophy is showing; strength in the skill events IM, Fly, Back, Breast. Everyone can swim free, but developing depth in the skill events is were a team strength is.
