Just a couple of weeks after reeling in a number of first place finishes with a handful of fishes in the southernmost pool in the Marianas, the Saipan Swim Club is looking to break the bank in their rival tank during the Guam International Race.<\/p>\n
The SSC is taking 14 of its best and brightest stars to Guam for the two-day affair in an effort to repeat the success that they found in the South Pacific Mini-Games over the summer.<\/p>\n
They will get their first taste of action today when they challenge the best from Japan, Palau, and Guam, and the meet will come to a close tomorrow, Wednesday, Dec. 28.<\/p>\n
The last time the SSC paid a visit to Guam, Nina Mosley, Blair Nichols, Clay McCullough-Stearns, and Emma McCullough-Stearns earned their stripes against a formidable field in Guam.<\/p>\n
Outnumbered by approximately 80 swimmers from a competing Guamanian teams, the fantastic four took it to their neighbors by bagging 11 first place finishes away from the familiar Marpi waters.<\/p>\n
Mosley won all three of her events by taking the 50m freestyle, 50m butterfly, and 200m freestyle in the 15-and-Over division while Nichols did the same in the 100m freestyle, 50m freestyle, and 50m backstroke in the 11-12 year old division.<\/p>\n
The McSiblings combined to take five tapes as Clay McCullough-Stearns cut through the water to take the 100m backstroke, 50m backstroke, and 50m freestyle in the 9-10 year old division while Emma was the best in the 50m and 100m breaststroke in the 11-12 year old division.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
