End of Regular Season Summary Middleton Diving & Battle on the Rock

1st before I get into the weekend summary. We had an excellent week of practice. I also BELIEVE that we are going to have a Great Championship Season.

WE MUST REST AND KEEP REGULAR ROUTINES FOR THE NEXT THREE WEEKS.

Friday:

DJ Nora dove at the Middleton Diving Invitational and did his first ever 11 dive meet. I believe that he did an excellent performance. He finished 23rd of 25, but he dove better than at least 5-6 divers ahead of him. He dove much cleaner and technically better. Because this is his first year his degree of difficulty is not as high. So even though he dove though other divers were crashing and even fail diving their DD was much higher and that was the difference. Three Dive coaches from other schools came over to him and told him we how impressed they were with is skill in such a short period of time. They also believe like I do, that he has great talent and ability. 

So Look out for DJ in the Future.

Saturday:

Though we were not able to defend our Title, I believe it was our best meet since January 9th's Rock County Championship meet. 

I felt our Start, Turns and Racing was much improved. With Conference and Sectionals soon upon us, I know we are in a very good place. NOW we need to just stay Healthy.

Meet Highlights:

200 Medley Relay: 

A Relay 1st Place: 1:43.90; Ben Saladar, Anthony Jacobson, Kana Wong, CJ Light

200 IM 1st Place 2:03.46 Anthony Jacobson

Weekend of Downs and Ups

This past week was a great learning experience for our men.

Thursday night was our make up meet with Madison Memorial and Janesville Craig at Craig.

I always believe that we need to move our men around in the line-up to prevent staleness and plateau effect. The hope is for our swimmers to understand that this is an opportunity to find out they might find out they are better at other events.  Example: Kia Wong becoming a very good backstroke swimmer and Kana becoming a solid breaststroke swimmer. 

Though we lost to Craig Thursday night, I believe we learned a lot about ourselves and this will have great benefits for us in February.

Highlights from Thursday:

200 Free: CJ Light 1:59.0 . Kia Wong 2:10

50 Free: 1st Place Ben Saladar 22.34 Eli Miller Medley Relay Split 23.8.

100 Free: 1st Place Ben Saladar 50.08 . Eli Miller Relay Split 54.5, Kana Wong 56.44, Kia Wong 56.55. Anthony Jacobson 49.70

200 Free Relay: 1st Place 'A' Relay: Ben Saladar, Caleb Otto, Ben Sill, CJ Light 1:36.

100 Back: 1st Place: Anthony Jacobson 57.1

100 Breast: 1st Place CJ Light

Friday Night we swam Middleton and Madison LaFollette. Before we left for the meet we spent 15 minutes doing some team bonding and mental training. We swam stronger mentally and learning form the night before.

Rock County Championship (sorry it's Late) Summary

Last Thursday the Knights defended their Title for the 5th time. Winning the Rock County Championship.

It was a total team effort, with all swimmers scoring and our number 3 and 4th swimmers coming through big time. The TIDE has graduated a lot of swimmers in the last two years. Our young kids had to step up and they really came through with some outstanding swims. Three freshman scored points in the top 8 and showed great strength through out the meet.

The Knights were lead by double individual winners; Ben Saladar (100 Fly and 100 Back), Anthony Jacobson (200 IM and 100 Breast) and CJ Light in the 50 Free. The Knights also won the 200 Medley Relay and 400 Free Relays. The 200 Free Relays A & B finished 3rd & 4th.
In the 200 Medley Relay the TIDE showed great depth, finishing 1st, 4th, 7th and 8th. Teaching our kids to be great all around swimmers has paid off great dividends, as the Knights dominated the skill events (200 IM, 100 Fly, 100 Back, and 100 Breaststroke).

The Knights next meet is Friday at Sun Prairie and

Weekend Summary 12/13 and 12/14 Solid Meets

Very Solid weekend of swimming, we really came together, after a very strong week of practice. The Knights downed Janesville Parker and gave defending state champions Madison West all they could handle. In swimming you can not judge a score by how close the meet was. There were incredible close races all night. The TIDE took 3 overall 1st places in the meet Friday.

Ben Saladar and Anthony Jacobson took home those wins for the Knights, with CJ Light getting a 2nd in the 100 Free and Saladar also picking up a 2nd place in the 100 back. Against Parker, Beloit took 1st in 7 of the 11 events. Our number 3 swimmer in each individual event scored points in 7 of 8 individual events. The Relays out scored Parker's Relays 26-16.

Our underclassmen really stepped up last night and out swam Parker's underclassmen.
