Southeasterns 2013

Cullman Swim Association took the largest team in its short history to the 2013 Southeastern Swimming Championships.  The meet was once again held at the Caulkins Center in Nashville, TN.  This is the usual season ender for the team which the swimmers train all year to compete in.  The qualifying times are so tough, so its quite an honor just to make it to the meet.

 

CSA was lead by 10 swimmers.  Cabri Adams, Reese McNeel, Reagan Martin and Claire Ogstad in 10-under girls.  Brothers, Ed and Wes Johnson, Sawyer and Cannon Trimble in 10-under boys.  Sara Peel in 13-14 Girls.  Bennett Glasscock in Senior boys.  Great turnout!

 

 

Ed Johnson gets ready for his 200 Freestyle.  What a meet for this guy and he will be back in 10-under next year.

 

Coach Lisa and Reagan Martin.  Many great swims.

 

Cabri Adams gets ready for the Backstroke.

 

 

Claire Ogstad concentrating before one of her events.  She will be back in 10-under next year.

 

Reese McNeel.  Wow what a meet she had.  Definitely the STAR for CSA.  She swam to a 3rd place finish in the Backstroke and a 7th in Butterfly.  Has to be the best finish in modern times for Cullman Swimming.  A statement made for Cullman Swim Association.

Next up for the CSA  swimmers is Sectionals.  The 10-under girls travel to Greensboro, NC and Bennett Glasscock back to Nashville for Senior Sectionals. 

Baylor Meets

The Cullman swimmers participated in a busy January with two meets at The Baylor School, in Chattanooga, TN.  The first meet was the Nike Open followed by the Southeastern Middle School Championships.  All the swimmers hit best times and really started showing some form leading into February.
