Head Coach Report

April 2008

Team Champs in Nepean


Murray Drudge
NYAC Head Coach
 

NYAC was just out-scored for third place in an exciting finish on the last day.

We had great results from a number of our age group swimmers, including the 10 and under boys who scored 70 points, not including relays. These boys were led by Alex Lutor (34 points) and Yi Wen Li (26 points). The 11-12 boys were awesome and matched the 15-17 boys, with 101 points in each age group. Nathaniel Hu was the big point scorer with 40 points in the 11-12 group. Michelle Williams, earning 42 points, was again very strong as our top scorer for the meet. Just back from Olympic Trials two weeks earlier, she won four events, including the 100 Fly with a new club record of 1:01:63. This would have placed her 5th in the final at Trials - an amazing swim for her! Read more...
