MUS Captures 4th Straight County Championship

MUS took home the County Championship on Saturday in huge part to the team's depth.  Several swimmers moved up on their seed positions and scored big time points for the Owls. It was an impressive performance and I hope to see more of that in 2 weeks in Nashville.

Senior Crews Wellford (200 Freestyle, 100 Individual Medley) and Pace Clark (200 Individual Medley, 100 Butterfly) won both of their individual events and our 400 yard freestyle took #1 overall honors as well but almost every event was peppered with MUS swimmers in the Top 10.

The 200 yard Freestyle Relay (Brooksbank, Harrison, Tabor, Clark) broke the MUS record with a time of 1:32.57.

21 different athletes scored points for us on Saturday and we now have 13 State Qualifiers.  Sophomores Drew Evans, Austin Dobbs, and Seamus Fitzhenry all dropped huge chunks of time to make their first ever State Qualifying times. Sophomore Reed Harrison and Freshman Richard Ouyang added new cuts as well.

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!
