Over 65 swimmers participated in the training sessions for the All Schools Swimming Championships on Saturday at the Kan Pacific Swimming Pool.<\/p>\n
Almost half were mot members of the Saipan Swim Club, four were from Tinian Elementary School, who for the first time took part in a swimming competition. They were Seth Manglona, Corey San Nicholas, Mark Lero, and Ritalene Lizama.<\/p>\n
Also, those swimmer who competed for the Saipan Swim Club either swam their time or were close to their personal best, a good indication for the beginning of the swimming season.<\/p>\n
Alex Negrete, Michael and Juan Camacho, Bobby Cruz, Daniel Kim, Katie Nicholls, Brenda Atalig, Melissa Coleman, and Nicole Calvo each lowered their previous best times.<\/p>\n
Minerva Cabrera, Andi Negrete and Michelle Cruz turned in great performance, dropping many seconds off of last year’s record, and showed that they are ready for the 2000-2001 swimming competition.<\/p>\n
A brief clinic on relay swimming was conducted after the meet for all participants. This was a good tune-up for the upcoming All Schools Swim meet to be held on Nov. 11 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Kan Pacific.<\/p>\n
There will also be a short water polo match at the end of the swimming competition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
