Shout out to the SAAC Swim team for participating in the 2020 Niagara Championships 12 & Under (Golds) held at Ithaca College earlier this month!

These ladies are the best of the best. We had several personal bests and Club Top Ten Times. Just making it to the Championship Meet is an honor and a huge accomplishment. We took 32nd overall and that is out of over 70 clubs (clubs, not schools, many clubs represent several districts) in the Niagara Swim league. Each age group has hundreds-thousands of swimmers in it. Each swimmer kicked their hardest and did their best. We couldn’t be more proud of each and everyone one. They supported each other event after event. It was a very long eventful weekend from Friday night to Sunday evening finals and they just kept swimming.

All four girls swam in the three relays (400 Free Relay with a time of 4.53.03 and improvement of 10.42 sec, 200 Medley relay with a 2.31.66 improvement of 5.38 secs, and the 200 Free Relay with a time of 2.12.85) they kept up with the other teams consisting of all 12 year olds and ours was made up of a 12yr, 11yr and 2-10yr old swimmers!

Kamryn DeBoy placed 41st in the 50 Fly with her best time of 34.44, 76th in the 100 IM with her personal best of 1.20.65, 47th in the 50 Back with a 35.63, and 51st in her 50 Free with a personal best of 30.38. She swam as an 11yr old in a huge group of 11-12 year olds. In our 10&under category – Brenda Redeye took 38th in the 200 Free with a time of 2.59.54, 44th in the 50 Breast with her best time 50.04, 50 Free with her best time 35.10, and 51st in her 100 Breast 1.53.36. Juliana Smith placed 6th in her 200 FR with her best time 2.35.97, 7th in her 100 IM with her best time of 1.24.47, 9th in the 50 Breast with her best time 43.35, 10th in the 100 FR with her best time 1.11.26, 11th in the 50 Fly with her best time of 36.83, 13th In the 50 free with her best time of 32.76 and 38th in her 100 Back with a 1.29.49.

We cannot wait to see what they bring next year! This is only our second year at Golds and the only return swimmer was Kamryn DeBoy as they age up it is harder to hit the times on their first year but she showed us all it can be done. It is a very unique experience and we at SAAC want to give a big THANK YOU to Coach Angie Schwartz and her daughter Marijayne for doing all you did this past weekend and always supporting the girls no matter what!
