The Most Exciting Meet of the Year!

Burke Centre Stingers at Hayden Village

7/19/2009 09:20PM

Read more about the Stingers meet Saturday at Hayden Village--from the CSL webpage article:

Rapids, Dolphins, Squids, Marlins Take Titles

And in what was probably the most exciting meet of the year, the home-standing Hayden Village Villains won the final two relays, one by just over a second and the other by less than one third of a second, to come from behind to beat the Burke Centre Stingers, 219 to 218.

In a microcosm of one of the closest CSL meets ever,

swimmers compete neck-and-neck. Click to enlarge.

Hayden Village's largest lead of the meet was only 15 points, and Burke Centre's was only 14 points. The meet featured an incredible fifteen lead changes, four ties, eleven 1-point leads and seven 2-point leads. Whew!

Down to the Wire!

Stingers at Hayden Village, July 18

7/18/2009 09:56PM

By Molly Emery

The most exciting meet of the 2009 season came down to the wire, down to the very last relay to determine the winner of the meet. Unfortunately for the Stingers, it was the Hayden Village Villains who prevailed in the end to win the meet by a mere one point victory, 219 to 218. The 13-14 and 15-18 girls' relays, anchored by Nicole Steinbicker and Karen Bumiller, respectively, pulled out unexpected and incredible victories, leaving the Stingers in need of only one mixed-aged relay to secure the win. Both mixed-aged relays gave it their all, but in the end were out-touched by the Villains, the girls by little over one second and the boys by a mere three-tenths of a second. Despite the defeat, the Stingers swam tough in arguably the most exciting meet of the season!

Double event winners: Calvin Miller (free, back), Amanda Combs (free, breast), and Kyle Bumiller (breast, fly).
Single event winners: Pierce Beima (free), Jared Hayes (back), Nadia Steinbicker (back), Serena Utech (breast), Jenna Bumiller and Rachel Pak tied in the 8 & under fly, Nick Longo (free), Savannah Combs (free), Josh Daniels (back), Alyssa D'Anna (breast), Sean Poling (back), Chris D'Anna (back), and Matt Osiecki (back).

Relay winners: 9-10 boys (Josh Daniels, Tyler Strong, Bryce Johnson, Nick Longo), 11-12 boys (Sean Poling, Sam Richter, JP Boland, Weslee Richmond), 11-12 girls (Sara Hudson, Amanda Combs, Lydia Chen, Maura D'Anna), 13-14 girls (Sarah Miller, Samantha Stallings, Kristin Deegan, Nicole Steinbicker), 15-18 boys (Matt Osiecki, Peter Fields, Kyle Bumiller, Luke Coplan), and 15-18 girls (Tess Miller, Rachel Moore, Courtney Orvig, Karen Bumiller).

Stingers Capture Third Win

New 15-18 Boys Relay Team Record!

7/12/2009 06:55AM

The Stingers prevailed over the Gators of Franklin Glen Saturday at Burke Centre for their third dual meet win this season. The highlight of the meet was a new team record set by the 15-18 boys relay team of Matthew Osiecki, Johann Shim, Kyle Bumiller, and Cameron Boster. Their time of 1:59.87 was over 3 seconds faster than the previous record set by the team of Osiecki, Boster, Nick Leverone, and Bumiller last year. Congratulations boys!

Three Stingers were triple event winners: 8 & under Calvin Miller (free, breast, fly), 13-14 Kristin Deegan (free, back, fly), and 15-18 Rachel Canty (free, breast, fly). Savannah Combs was a double winner (free, back) and rounding out the event winners for the Stingers were Sara Benton (breast), Jenna Bumiller (fly), Nick Longo (free), Sean Poling (back), Amanda Combs (back), Bradley Bryer (breast), Christine Canty (back) and Johann Shim (breast).

The Stingers clinched the win with some very exciting and close relays. The 11-12 boys team of Poling, JP Boland, Nick Withers, and Sam Richter out touched the gators by only .17 second! The 8 & unders won two exciting relays--the girls team of Sarah Shackelford, Serena Utech, Bumiller and Benton, by less than a second! And the boys by less than 3 seconds (Zachary Morris, Miller, Jared Hayes and Joseph Burgos). Also pulling out relay wins were the 13-14 boys (Chris D' Anna, Bryer, Sean Boland, Andrew Osiecki), the 15-18 girls (C Canty, R Canty, Tess Miller, Rachel Moore), and the mixed age girls (Deegan, S Combs, A Combs, and R Canty).
