SAISA Day 1

Hi TAISM,

It's been a fast day at SAISA for the TAISM Eagles Swimmers. We had a strong line-up of events for our team. We swam 58 personal best times across both the morning and afternoon events.

Our Eagles swam their hearts out and have landed in first place at the end of day one. ACS was leading most of the day and our relays at the end of the night pulled us ahead in the standings. It is VERY close. Just a one point difference in the girls standings between ACS and TAISM-the top two teams after day one.

*Aysha Noureldin and Neive also broke the previous school record in the 200 Breaststroke with times of 3:08.03 and 3:08.08 respectively. 

Our 13-14 Boys (Louis Junge, James Winkel, Cameron Johnson, Asher Leewarner) swam personal best split times to break a 12 year old school record in the 200 Freestyle Relay. 

Our 15+ Girls (Eva Bonde, Lucia Perdiguero, Maren Lee, My-Linh Gelinas) broke the 200 Medley relay school record (which was also the standing SAISA record since 2015). The girls swam like their hair was on fire, broke the SAISA record racing 2 other crazy fast teams ending in TAISM with a heartbreaking 3rd place finish (by .01 of a second). What a race!!!

We look forward to another full day of fast swims tomorrow.

Go EAGLES!!!
