Sectionals 2014

CSA was well represented this year at the 2014 USA/Sectionals meet held at Georgia Tech.  The pool has much history being the site of the Olympic Games in 1996.  Making the trip for CSA was; Claire Ogstad, Reese McNeel, Ed Johnson, Wes Johnson and Keelie Balch.  All of these swimmers had to make extremely fast qualifying times, a notch up from Southeasterns.  Most all of the swimmers hit best times.   I was extremely proud of all these swimmers.  Its so tough to swim at Southeasterns in Nashville and then three weeks later compete again on a high level.  As a coach its tough to have them at their peak twice a month apart,

One of the stars for 2013-14, such a hard worker
 
 
That's what it feels like to set a new personal best and team record.
