MUS Swimming Completes Perfect Weekend!

Both Upper and Lower School were victorious in their meets with the High Schoolers taking down 5 other teams and the Lower Schoolers defeating 8 other teams.

Upper School started the day off right with Walker Thompson (Jr.) getting his first State Qualifying Standard in the 500 yard freestyle.  It got better from there with Pace Clark (Jr.) breaking Olympian Gil Stovall's 50 yard Butterfly record with a time of 23.12. Clark also set the school record in the 100 yard Individual Medley with a time of 55.25. Crews Wellford (Sr.) won both the 100 yard freestyle and the 100 yard backstroke. Sherman Tabor (Fr.) and Thornton Brooksbank (So.) both acheived new State Qualifying Times. Senior Michael Green looked strong going his fastest time of the season in the 100 yard Breaststroke.

The high school's next meet is this Thursday at St. George's... it is the last one before the County Championships on January 28th!

 

Lower School proved they are a force to reckon with right from the start with the A & B teams going 1-2 in the first event, the 100 yard Medley Relay. Henry Keel (8th) won both the 100 & 200 yard freestyle events and Jack McCaghren (7th) won the 100 yard Individual Medley. The Owls completed the day by going 1-4 in the 200 yard freestyle relay.

 

The next meet for the Lower School Owls is the County Championships on Saturday, January 21. It has been a great season for both teams so let's finish out strong!

Wellford Signs with Alabama

We are excited to announce that Crews Wellford will be attending the University of Alabama in the fall of 2012!  Here is a copy of the press release:

MEMPHIS, Tenn., November 17, 2011 – Memphis University School senior Crews Wellford signed his official commitment letter on Tuesday, November 15, to swim at the University of Alabama. He is the first MUS swimmer to sign a letter of intent to swim for a college.

Wellford is captain of the MUS swimming team. He placed first in the 200-yard freestyle at the 2011 Shelby County Championship Meet, and this summer, he achieved a time fast enough to qualify for the USA Swimming Junior Nationals in the 100-yard backstroke, 200-yard backstroke, and 200-yard individual medley. He competed in Junior Nationals Meet at Stanford University in August and plans to compete in the next meet, held in December, at the University of Texas.

“It is going to be exciting to see him competing at the SEC Championships. He has been a key member of the team and we wish him the best of luck at Alabama,” said MUS Varsity Swim Coach Bryan Parker.

The University of Alabama is the state’s flagship university, and enrolls over 31,000 students at its Tuscaloosa campus. Established in 1831, Alabama is one of the nation’s best public universities, with highly ranked graduate and undergraduate programs, and a respected athletic program that competes in NCAA athletics at the Division I level.

Founded in 1893, MUS is a non-denominational and non-discriminatory college-preparatory day school dedicated to academic excellence and the development of well-rounded young men of strong moral character, consistent with the school’s Christian tradition. With an enrollment of approximately 665 boys in grades 7-12, MUS offers a diverse and engaging curriculum in a supportive environment that balances academics, athletics, and the arts, with an education that teaches the value of integrity and strength of character. 

 

MUS Thanksgiving Practice Schedule

Upper School will practice on Wednesday from 8-10am.  Friday practice will be from 1-3pm. Saturday morning will be 8-10am. 

 

Lower School practice will be normal on Monday and Tuesday.  Enjoy the rest of the week off!

Lower School Remains Undefeated

The Lower School Swim Team continued what they started in their first meet by beating 7 other schools on Saturday. MUS had 3 individual event winners with Tucker Colerick (8th Grade) winning the 100 Individual Medley and Henry Keel (8th) taking the 100 Freestyle and 50 Breaststroke. It was a true team victory with 4 MUS relay teams placing in the top 6 of the 4x50 Yard Freestyle. The Owls will have time to train hard as they do not compete again until the Germantown Invitational on December 10.

Upper and Lower School Win!

The Lower School swimmers came through with a victory last weekend over the Memphis Homeschool Education Association, St. George's, St. Agnes/St. Dominic, and White Station Middle School.  Henry Keel was the only event winner where he posted a time of 25.11 in the 50 freestyle.  The day was filled with strong performances and was a great jump off point for the new season.  The next Lower School (4-0) swim meet is November 12th and all swimmers need to email Coach Bryan to let him know if they will not be able to attend.  

The Upper School team did a great job in a weekend where they were missing a few swimmers due to Model UN and recruiting trips.  In 4 of 6 events (100 Freestyle, 50 Butterfly, 100 Backstroke, and 100 Individual Medley) the Owls showed their impressive depth by placing all 3 scoring athletes in the top 4 spots. In the other 2 events MUS had 3 in the top 5 (500 Freestyle) and 3 of the top 7 (100 Breaststroke). The highlight of the day was the impressive finish by the B relay over White Station's A relay for 2nd place behind the Owls' A team.  The next meet for MUS (9-1) is Thursday, December 1.  Look for an email about the upcoming month soon!
