Super Sectionals Day 2- PVS swimmers in Finals
By Reach for the Wall Staff
Friday was a ‘lighter’ day for finals, however not light on the toughness of the races, with the ‘controlled sprint of the 200 freestyle and the 400 IM, which is often labeled as ‘grueling’. The night started off with the 200 freestyle and 14 yr old Claire Weinstein (WEST), taking the top spot in 2:00.95, achieving a Wave I Trial standard! Nicole Venema (TIDE) was the next swimmer to achieve a cut, doing so in the 100 Butterfly. While she was well under the Wave I standard, she just missed the Wave II standard, winning the event in 59.86. Mia Abruzzo (PWAC) also joined the Trials qualifying group by winning the 400 IM in 4:50.49, besting the Wave I standard by 1.3 seconds!
