Northern Lake Y Seahorse swimmers successful in Wisconsin
The journey was definitely the reward for the members of the Northern Lake YMCA Seahorse Swim Team who traveled to Brown Deer, Wis., Dec. 9-11 for the 2011 Schroeder YMCA Finalist Invitational.
Tyler Howard led the team by breaking his own boys 11-12 500-yard freestyle record, set last year in the same pool. With more than 600 swimmers participating at the meet, the small pack of 15 Seahorse swimmers made sure they stood out in their events.
“This was a great meet to be a coach because everyone came out of the pool smiling,” Head Coach Mike Hewitt said. “Tyler had an outstanding 500 and all the swimmers broke at least one of their own personal time records for the year. We attend this meet because it puts our swimmers up against some of the top swimmers in the region and our kids used that opportunity to push their own boundaries.”
