PCL Relay Meet

The Palma Ceia Swim Team finished third at the PCL Relay Meet held this past Saturday at the Tampa Yacht Club narrowly missing out on a second place finish to our good friends at TYCC.  With an unusual number of DQ’s, the team fell short of its goal of winning the event but is looking forward to bouncing back at this weekend’s Dick Smith Invitational.

Our 11 & 12 Girls (Sarah Rossi, Martha Pointer, Samantha Scott, Danielle Scott and Jackie Hanlon) were outstanding as usual winning 4 events.   Our 8 & Under Girls (Katie Taulbee, Elly Frierson, Abby Griewe, Caroline Rossi, Madison Troy and Lindsay Ayers) also shined on this beautiful sunny day by winning 3 events and placing 2nd in two others.    

The 8 & Under Boys (Evan Passath, John Pointer, Andrew Kynes, Jackson Hacker and Robbie Shaffer) had one 1st place finish and two 2nd place finishes.  Our 11 & 12 Boys (Byrne Litschgi, Tommy Shaffer, Cameron Davidson, Austin Gage and Kevin Allman) also swam well winning 1 event and finishing 2nd in three others. 

We hope to have everyone back at the pool this week for a full week of practices so that we can work on improving some of the finer points in preparation for the Dick Smith Invitational.   Our swimmers cannot improve if they are not practicing so let’s have a great turnout this week for practices.
