Club Tribe welcomed 104 Masters swimmers representing 12 teams to Williamsburg on March 17 for the 3rd Annual Club Tribe Masters Classic, a sprint-oriented meet with an emphasis on relays and having fun. We are grateful to all of the swimmers who participated, and for the volunteer efforts of Dan Demers, Charlie Cockrell and their officiating crew, Administrative Officer Heather Stevenson, results guru Chris Stevenson, and the College of William & Mary varsity swimmers, who did a great job running the meet.
Among a plethora of excellent swims were 10 new VA LMSC individual records and one new relay record. On the women’s side, VMST’s Val Van Horn Pate had a remarkable meet, lopping big chunks of time off of four records in the 55-59 age group: 50 Back (30.54); 100 Back (1:06.99); 50 Fly (29.71); and 200 IM (2:30.22). On the men’s side, Doug Slater of Club Tribe led the way with new standards in the 60-64 50 Back (27.69), 100 IM (1:02.17), and 400 IM (5:08.78). Craig Bauer of VMST established new records in the 65-69 200 Free (2:15.65) and 50 *** (35.94), while William Throne of VMST lowered the 60-64 100 Back record to 1:09.30. Finally, Club Tribe’s 25+ Mixed 200 Free Relay of Kevin Gallagher, Gabby Mizerak, Kyle Loughran, and Katie Grier set a new record of 1:34.46. Congratulations everyone – impressive stuff!
We were thrilled to see so many teams get deep into the relay action, with 15 200 Free Relay teams and 18 teams entered in the meet’s signature event – the 100 Medley Relay. This splash-and-dash medley relay saw a number of standout performances, including several very swift VMST teams, some solid mix-and-match combos, and a speedy 48.79 from the men of SWIMNERD (Sam Harris, Christopher Scott, Nathan Tschol, Mike Ginder), eclipsing the previous overall meet record. In the end, Club Tribe took home the hardware (pewter Jefferson cups) in each relay, with the women winning in 59.08 (Michele Choe, Victoria Maqueda, Katie Grier, Lindsay Lovett), the men in 44.98 (Alex Henderson, Alex Montes de Oca, Austin Glass, Kyle Loughran), and the mixed relay in 51.62 (RuthAnne Thomas, Leslie Nelson, Michael Lovett, Luke Robbins). Great racing across the board!
We’re looking forward to seeing our fellow VA LMSC swimmers at Zones and Nationals, and we hope you will join us for this meet again next year.
