YMCA swimmers put in great showing at recent meet



On Saturday, November 10, the Cook County Community YMCA had five swimmers attend the YMCA swimming meet in Superior, Wisconsin and, said Y swimming coach Jacqueline Mallison, “We saw some great performances!”

“Leif Lundstrom, our youngest swimmer attending this meet, competed in a 4 x 50 meter relay with boys many years his senior in the race. Leif also did extremely well in his individual events including an excellent win in his backstroke heat!

“Lexi Surbaugh also competed very well,” said Mallison. “She had some great events and came within a second of her personal best times.

“Finn Gary raced in one of the hardest events of the meet when he took on the arduous 500 meter free style swim. Finn competed against 14 and 15 year olds and he held a steady stroke.

“Having more recently returned to training, Hadden showed some great form with starts and turns that were some of the best in the competition by any swimmer.

“Both Hadden and Trist an competed in several 100-meters events for the first time, which added to their event experience and personal best times to aim for.”
