Making Waves

Luke Bousley and Abigail Schauske: Our two swimmers of the week swam at the Green Bay Sprint meet on Sat., Dec. 6, posting all best times in five events each. To have best times in all strokes and the 100 yard freestyle is exceptional.

Bousley, 11, a swimmer from Southern Door in sixth grade is part of our very strong 9-10 boys group. Luke is a state qualifier in single and relay events. He is a freestyle sprinter and his butterfly is gaining strength.

Schauske, 12, is one of our talented 11-12 girls, with great speed in all strokes. Abby is going to be very competitive at the state championship level this year. Abby is in seventh grade at Sevastopol.

Notes from Coach Mike McHugh: Our team had an outstanding meet at the Green Bay Sprint meet. We had 11 high point winners, the top three in each age group, and 120-plus best times. Our emphasis was on efficiency of strokes, and speed in and out of walls. It is nice to see a process goal extend into an outcome goal. Our discussion this week was on intensity, especially in practice. If one person increases intensity, it has a ripple effect on all lane members. We are into some intense challenge sets right now, with the swimmers responding well.

Swim Term: Sprint – A short, “all-out” race. Anything 100 yards/meters or less is considered a sprint.
