Records Wrap Up
August 29, 2008
During the course of this past summer, Oregon swimmers set a large number of new OSI records and several new national records. We neglected to mention a few of these records due to software and human error.
At Senior Sectionals, Grace Carlson lowered her own 11-12 100 free record swimming 57.97. Her old time stood at 58.14 set at the Howard Jones Memorial meet in June.
The LOSC team of Karen Turner, Amy Wiley, Sarah Feil and Cassidy Robinson set a new record in the 13-14 medley relay at Far Westerns. Their time of 2:02.23 bettered the 2:02.82 Lake Oswego swam last year.
