It was a night for victories and a night for records for Pleasanton Meadows. Swimming at their home away from home, Dougherty Valley High School, the Sharks got their first victory convincingly, beating FAST 625-320. To top off a great night, the Meadows also set three team records. Alyson Isaacs did the honors first, going 28.69 in the 11-12 free, breaking her own record by 6/10s of a second. Next, the 9-10 girls fly record fell when Sidney Vaeth swam a 15.98 time. Finally, Courtney Olivier broke the team record in 6 and under girls' backstroke with a time of 26.08. Oliver also won the free event to record two individual wins for Pleasanton Meadows.
In a night of dominating swimming, the Sharks had seven other multiple winners including Nick Tucker who won three (11-12 IM, fly, free). The Geasa family had quite a remarkable evening with all three kids, Annie, Jack and Joey, winning two events. Annie won the 13-14 back and fly, Jack took the 11-12 back and breast, and Joey won the 9-10 IM and breast. Similarly the Bush family was flush with wins with both Madeline and Chris winning twice. Madeline won the 15-18 IM and fly while Chris took the 13-14 IM and breast. The other multiple winner was Perry Cheney getting the wall first in the 13-14 fly and free.
In a night of family success, the Sharks also had Alyson and Haley Isaacs win an event with Alyson taking the 11-12 free and Haley the 11-12 breast. Additionally, Blake Tucker joined brother Nick atop the podium, winning the 9-10 back.
The Under Six girls swept their events. Along with Oliver’s wins, Ela Kularni won the breaststroke, and Sydney Simmons took the fly. Colin Burke completed the 13-14 boys sweep taking the backstroke to complement Geasa and Tucker’s wins in the other events.
Almost nearly getting a sweep were the U6 boys with Haison Park winning the back, Jack DuBos winning the fly, and Nathan Shinn taking the free. Similarly, the 13-14 girls nearly swept with Juliana Herrera winning the IM and Shelby Craig taking the free to go along with Geasa’s double first place night. Also almost finishing with a sweep, the 15-18 girls got first place finishes from Maddie Aquilina (breaststroke) and Elsa Schwaninger (free) to go along with Bush’s double. The final near sweep came from the 9-10 boys where Caleb Harris took the fly to go along with Geasa and Tucker’s wins.
Other first place finishers were 7-8 boys Ruby Dakota (back) and Brent Werder (breast), 7-8 girls Amelia Kelly (fly) and Jessica Rhoads (free), 9-10 girl Meghan Pickett (breast), and 15-18 boy Grant Sweetnam who took the backstroke.
