PCST Runner Up Visiting Team at ECS Meet!

Tsunamis Take 3rd Overall (2nd Place Visiting Team) at ECS Meet!!

Yes, we may have had nearly 50 swimmers competing in Tallahassee that weekend, but we had 22 young Tsunamis who were excited and ready to swim fast in Ft. Walton Beach.  And swim fast they did!  In spite of the Tsunami squad being split up that weekend, we still managed to pull off a 2nd place visiting team finish at the meet out of 6 total.  Congrats Tsunamis!

Although myself and Coach Brian were in Tallahassee, our veterened leader, Coach Sarah, brought home loads of great news for me to brag about to everyone.  Here are some of those great swims!

2 Swimmers Come Home With Trophies!
Congratulations to Marisa Ashley and Fallon Gelsleichter for bringing home the hardware from Ft. Walton Beach!  Marisa was the 5th place overall girl in the 8 & Under division while Fallon was the 6th place overall girl in the 11-12 category.  Awesome job girls!

Gelsleichter & Ashley Among All-Time Best Now!
Congratulations again to Marisa Ashley and Fallon Gelsleichter for having swims that put them among the best in team history.  Marisa's 100 IM now ranks her as the 10th fastest 8 & Under girl in team history.  Fallon swam an incredible 100 Breast which now ranks her as the 10th fastest 11-12 girl in team history.  Well done!
