2/11/23 BSM and JV Champs

This was another great week. We had our dual meet vs. a very good BSM team, and we came out the victors!  Then today the junior varsity swimmers finished there season with some very good performances vs. the other kids in the conference.  See the results at Meet Results and Stats.

2/5/23 New Prague and Hibbing

We had a very successful week this week. The boys got their first win of the season by defeating New Prague.  It was very close and we had to overcome a 13 point deficit to start to the meet due to us not having any divers. Then we narrowly missed 2nd place at the Hibbing Invite (1 point away) - this time starting out 39 points behind due to no divers. We're in the championship phase of the season and the boys have improved a ton since the beginning of the season and we look forward to a strong finish.  See the results at Meet Results and Stats.

1/26/23 Jefferson vs. Waconia

The boys swam some things they don't get to do very often and we saw some good swims.You can see the results at Meet Results and Stats.

Alumni Meet results.  We had a great time welcoming back 23 alumni last night.  They showed that they still got it.  I posted only the results (no separate docs for splits or top times) because I'm not sure the relay orders were as shown.  Please review so I can make the necessary corrections.  See at Meet Results and Stats.

Kick Off Meeting Materials

3/05/22

Congratulations to Aiden Shermak on his 12th place finish in the 100 free at the state meet.  He went in seeded 21st and moved up to 11th in prelims after dropping another .74 seconds from the week prior.  In finals he had almost an identical swim (a mere .06 slower) and ended up 12th.  Great job Aiden and thanks to those who came out to support him.  See the results at Meet Results and Stats.

2/26/22

Congratulations to the Section swimmers on some great swims over the past two days.  Last night in finals we had all three relays compete as well as Aiden Shermak in the 50/100 Freestyle (qualifed for state in the 100), Colin Hester in the 100 Fly, Jayden Sieling in the 50 free, and Preston Le in the 200 IM and 100 Back.

CONGRATULATIONS SWIMMERS!

I want to congratulate all the boys who competed this evening at the section meet.  The guys continued to improve, and compete even harder - there is something to be said for swimming against other teams bringing out a person's best performances.  I once again want to thank everyone for giving of your time and talents to this organization and helping the boys be the best they could be.  You can see the results at Meet Results and Stats.

3/10/2021

THANK YOU EVERYBODY!!!!

Tonight we did something that we've never been able to do before and maybe will never do again - had all our guys shave and taper for a meet together.  There were lots of great swims and for some guys it was a great end to their season.  For the others it was a great first day swim going into section finals on Friday.  This wouldn't have been possible without a lot of volunteer work on short notice and I really appreciate all of your support.  You can see the results at Meet Results and Stats.

2/18/2021

Chaska/Chan Senior Night Recap

We had a nice last dual meet of the season this evening against a strong Chaska/Chanhassen team.  Most of the swims were season best or near season best times again and we look forward to seeing what they can do now at the end of the season.  See tonight's results at Meet Results and Stats.

2/09/2021

Kennedy Meet Recap

Hey - the boys had a great meet tonight.  There were lots of season best times and fun , competitive races.  It's fun to see the guys beginning to get a glimpse of what we as coaches are able to see in regards to what they can do. See the results at Meet Results and Stats.

2/04/2021

Cooper Meet Recap

Hello - the boys took another step in the right direction tonight in our win vs. Cooper.  Once again we had over 80% season best times for those who had swum those events at least once already this year.  The other 20% were right near their season best.  I really can't say enough about how hard these guys are working this year and just what a pleasure it is to get to work with them each day.  See the results and Meet Results and Stats.

1/28/2021

St. Louis Park Meet Recap

Hi everyone - great meet tonight!  We had lots of fantastic swims today - almost everyone had time drops - big ones - in events they had swum earlier this season. It's great to see their hard work paying off.  Our next meet is next Thursday vs. Cooper.  

1/19/2021

Our next meet will be next Thursday 1/28 again at home vs. St. Louis Park.

1/14/2021

Benilde-St. Margaret's Meet Recap

Hi everyone - I thought we had a pretty good meet vs. BSM on Thursday night.  Though the score didn't reflect it, we did very well.  This is by far the youngest team I have ever had, and the second smallest in 21 years of being here.  But the guys we do have for the most part picked up where they left off last year - even after the long layoff - and I'm excited to see how they all improve as we go forward.  You can see the results at the Meet Results and Stats link.

On Tuesday we have our next meet and that is vs. Waconia.  The protocols will still be the same as Thursday night - Waconia's team is about the same size as BSM was.  Let me know if you have any questions.  Have a great weekend.

11/16/2020

Congratulations to all the boys who participated in the Section 2AA swim meet this past weekend.  We had some great performances, and I'm thankful for all the boys' hard work and dedication over the past season.  I am also thankful for the parents' help and support of the boys to help them have the best season they could.  

Individually I want to specifically congratulate Sam Wallace on qualifying for the state meet at the University of Minnesota.  He not only qualified for state, but he also set the pool record at Chaska/Chanhassen, and he won the event.  He begins his competition on Thursday 2/27 at 6:00pm.  Tickets can be bought at the box office at the U pool for $7 prior to the meet.  The divers will compete their first eight dives, and then the top sixteen will move on to dive in the swimming and diving finals on Saturday night at 6:00 pm.  Tickets for that night can be purchased for $10 at the box office.  They will go on sale at 4:30.

2/23/19  Section Meet Results

Congratulations to all the boys who competed these past three days in our section meet.  We had a lot of really great swims and dives on our way to our 6th place finish.  We are moving on to the state meet where our 200 Medley Relay of Preston Le, Alex Johnson, Carlos Andert, and Jon Halaska swam a qualifying time of 1:38.86.  Our diver Sam Wallace also qualified and won the diving event.  Also of note were swimmers breaking into our all-time top ten.  Alex Johnson's and Preston Le's 200 IM times are now 8th and 9th respectively.  Carlos Andert's 100 fly was good for 5th all-time, and Preston Le's and Alex Johnson's 100 Backstrokes were good for 4th and 8th respectively.  (Side note:  Sam Wallace's Hibbing diving score put him at 3rd all time) .  Again way to go everyone who participated this past weekend.  You can see the complete results at Meet Results and Stats.

2/2/19  Hibbing Meet Results

I'm on the bus home from Hibbing right now and the boys had a great day.  It started out with Sam Wallace winning the diving and then our 'A' 200 Medley Relay winning that event.  We ended up third but swam up 40 points from where we were seeded with great swims down the lineup.  Check out the rest of the results at Meet Results and Stats.  

2/1/19  Benilde Meet Results and Upcoming Events

Hi everyone, last night we had a very good meet against Benilde-St. Margaret's coming away with 97-73 victory to move us to 4-1 in the conference.  I would again like to thank everyone for their flexibility and help getting the meet to happen as it was pretty hastily thrown together - none of this happens without your support.  You can see the results at Meet Results and Stats.  

Going forward, the varsity goes up to Hibbing today to swim tomorrow in the annual Hibbing Invite.  Next week we have our last dual meet and senior night vs. St. Louis Park.  It should be an exciting meet.
