Southern Zone
Sectional Meet
March 17-20, 2011
Ft. Lauderdale, FL
Connecticut Swimming was represented by the Aquabears
and Connecticut Aquatic Club last weekend at Southern
Sectionals, hosted by Florida Aquatics at the International
Swimming Hall of Fame Pool in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Our
teams were just two of 96 teams competing at this event.
Nations from around the world were represented by athletes
from Greece, Macedonia, Philippines, Brazil, Venezuela,
Honduras, Argentina, US Virgin Islands, Barbados, Mexico,
Canada, Zimbabwe, and many more. This being an FINA
recognized meet held in meters (LCM) many swimmers were
in attendance trying to make their National, World or
Olympic Trial cuts.
USA Olympians Ryan Lochte and Peter Vanderkaay
displayed their swimming prowess race after race, using walls
and under-waters to erase any lead their competition had
going into the last 50. It was great experience to watch
Olympians showing all swimmers that they compete the same
way racing in prelim heats to make finals. These two
swimming role models spent all afternoon on Saturday
signing autographs and taking photos, then came back at finals
and controlled their races.
Many New England teams were invited to this meet with the
Attleboro Bluefish placing third. Our two small teams from
Connecticut had strong solid swims in all their individual
events. A special congratulations to CAC's Jesssica Hespeler
who placed 22nd the 50 free, 22nd in the 200 free, 15th in
the 100 free, 11th in the 800 free, 9th in the 1500 free and
she placed 5th overall in the 400 free.
