Outstanding swims at the Fall League Championships!
Stingray 6 & Under swimmers comprised of Clarissa Peress; Meghan Burns and Luke Hinderaker did an outstanding job of competing and racking up points! Lots of talent to look forward to from these young talented individuals!
Our 8 & Unders Stingray swimmers comprised of Katie Devore; Ruth Beadle; Isabelle Neuschatz; Sophie Holtzman; Abby Hemmings; Dalen Hinderaker were all very competitive in their individual events and relays. They showed great enthusiasm, team unity and confidence in their swims- great job kids! Keep an eye on these kids!
Stingray 10 & Under point scorers were: Lexy Hansen; Zoe Holtzman; Natalia Orbach-Mandel; Nicole Parks; Noah Pensak; Andy Duffield; Martin Hocheder; Ryan Blanchard Joanna Galons; Abby Devore. This group of kids swam really well, taking large chunks of time off their personal bests while making many BB, Regional and state QT’s along the way! Way to go!….
11/12 age group Stingrays consisted of a power packed group: Hayley Flanigan; Bridget Norman; Christina Matz; Joseph Parks; Julien Galons; Bonnie Diamond; Krista Duffield; Hannah Orbach-Mandel; Layla Anderson; Jedediah Dawson; Dakota Kordsiemon; Matthew Jeffries; Reed Wallace; Michael Li. These kids contributed considerably to our overall success and showed huge improvements in times. New and improved Regional, State and Far Western QT’s! Wow!
13/14 year old Stingrays…. This being our oldest group of individuals competing at this championship meet for the Stingrays provided leadership in many ways: Georgia Matz; Lindsie Jeffries; Jordon Belton; Alex Urman; Matthew Kautz; Erika Hocheder all scored valuable points, but also provided support/encouragement and mentor ship to their younger teammates. While doing so, they surpassed many individual best times taking the TJCC Stingray swim team to an outstanding overall top 3 team finish! Way to go TEAM!
Stingrays- Young and Old had an outstanding day of competition on Saturday the 15th in Phoenix. Many, many best times, regional and state qualification and Far Western Zone times were achieved. “Chunks” of time were taken off by most and smiles were abundant- from swimmers, parents and coaches alike! It was a great day for the stingrays swimmers and one to share the good news with our team members who were unable to join us in our Championship meet! Congrats to all who contributed to the overall team placement as listed below. Stingrays competed head to head with Scottsdale Aquatics, Arizona Marlins, Desert Thunder, El Dorado Aquatics, and Arizona Gauchos (all teams considerably larger in size and depth than the Stingrays). Our kids combined an amazing team effort taking us to a** 3rd place Stingray team finish**- behind first place Scottsdale and 2nd place Arizona Marlins! This was a great feat for a considerably smaller, younger, less experienced team!
Outstanding swims at the Fall League Championships!Kudos to parents who drove up, cheered, timed and had an overall memorable day! Our/your kids success is directly reflective of the commitment and sacrifice(s) which you make that allow them these valuable opportunities. If they haven’t said it…. we will.. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO PARENTS- you are a major key to our success and we know it!
Congrats to all!
Your loyal coaching staff- Amy, Michael, Coleman, Kiely
