Six CRAA Swimmers set new team records at the Iowa State Swimming Championships held in February and March. In the 11-12 Girls Age Group, McKenzie Asplund set the CRAA record in the 50 Breaststroke with a time of 33.64. The previous record was two-years old and was held by Emilie Berg. Jackie Hughes also set two team records at these State Championships Swimming meets. She established new CRAA records in the 11-12 Girls division for the 200 Breast and 400 IM. In the 200 Breast, her time of 2:39.35 bettered the old record held by Catie Baker established in March of 2003. In the 400 IM, Jackie swam a time of 5:08.73 bettering the old team record held by Whitney Wodstrchill set in October of 1998. In the 11-12 Boys Age Group, both Thomas Burrill (12) and Sami Scheetz (11) established new CRAA Team Records. Thomas set a new CRAA record in the 50 Freestyle with a time of 25.14 breaking a twenty year-old record held by Brian Jones from 1988. He also set a new team record in the 50 Fly with a time of 27.98, breaking a record which had been standing since February of 2000 held by Alex Craig. Sami set a new team record in the 50 Breast with a time of 32.49, breaking a record held by Alex Craig that had been in place since February 2000. Morgan Barnes and Katharine Anton also set new team records in the 13-14 age groups. Morgan broke the CRAA record for the 13-14 Boys 1650 Free with a time of 17:26.36. In doing this, he betters the previous record held by Coach Cody Hackney set in October of 1997. Katharine reset the team record that she already held in the 200 Back with a time of 2:00.81. This time for Katharine also set the 13-14 Girls and Senior Girls CRAA team record as well as the 13-14 Girls and Senior Girls Iowa State Records. Congratulations to all these CRAA Swimmers for their record setting accomplishments! |
