District Results for Swimmers
Click for Meet Results
Submitted by Coach Linda Bingler - February 10, 2007
Here are the results and a
backup of the prelims
from West Central District III. The competition was
fierce, but we pretty much held out positions. We
swam in the 200 Medley relay, 50 free (3), and 100
free and had one diver. Our diver placed 14th
overall which was really great since he just started
diving this year. We look forward to his progress
next year. It is very difficult for a small town
team with no feeder program to compete against large
schools from the
Seattle area that has numerous club teams to feed
their high school programs. It would be nice if
they would split out 2A from 3A at this point so the
competition would be a bit more
fair and the meet wouldn’t involve so many
teams. There were 25 teams competing at this
District meet. But, since we started out with 19
boys out of 24 that couldn’t swim on day one, we
really did pretty well.
So, that’s it for another season. See you all next
fall. Have a great summer.

Olympic Drops Wolves
Click for Meet Results
Submitted by Coach Linda Bingler - Jan 30, 2007
Today we swam against Olympic High School and lost again
with about the same point spread. They have some very
fast swimmers. We did qualify Lance White in the 50 and
100 free, and will submit
Teddy
Laboy in the 50 free and 100 back and Steffen Estep in
the 100 fly for Districts, as well as the 100 free
relay. It’s been a fun season and I have been very
impressed with the motivation, determination and hard
work of all the boys. They have made some amazing
improvements this season. Most swimmers have indicated
a desire to swim again next year, so I am hopeful that
we will have a great team again next year. Stay tuned
for the District results on Feb. 9 and 10.

Today we competed in the Divisional meet which is for those
athletes who have not qualified for Districts. That was
pretty much our whole team. Jay Barton placed 3rd
in diving and qualified for Districts. Our 200 free relay
team A (Lance White, JJ Cadden,
Steffen Estep and Teddy Laboy) placed 1st
overall. Lance White placed 1st in the 100 free
and 2nd in the 100 back. Steffen Estep placed 3rd
in the 100 fly. Some newcomers to the
team that placed well included Nathan Gray and Nick Bowden
in the 50 free, JJ Cadden in the
100 free, Travis Priest in the 100 back and diving.
Most of the boys achieved new personal best times.
They have one more chance to qualify for Districts on
Tuesday, Jan. 30th.

Peninsula Makes it 2
Click for Meet Results
Submitted by Coach Linda Bingler - Jan 23, 2007
We swam against
Peninsula
high school and I guess they brought all their fastest
swimmers. You would think they might want a challenging
meet, but I guess not. We placed 2nd in the 100
free (Lance White), 3rd in the relays, 200 IM, 50
free, and diving, but placed 4,5,6
in all the rest of the events. However, our swimmers did
achieve a lot of new personal bests, such as Teddy Laboy,
James Lowrance, Nathan Gray,
Steven Moore, Sam Schwab, Brett Cain and Chris
Merrikin in the 50 free, Taylor
Hasenpflug in the 200 free,
James Cockburn in the 500 free, Chris
Gish and Travis Smith in the 100 fly, JJ
Cadden, Nick Bowden, Parker
Steichen, Sam Schwab, and Erik
Galasso in the 100 free, Travis
Priest and JJ Cadden,
in the 100 back.
We’ll be competing in the Divisional meet tomorrow in
Port
Angeles. We hope to qualify some swimmers and divers for
Districts there. We did qualify our 200 Medley Relay (Lance
White, Steffen Estep, Alex Skinner, Teddy Laboy) for
Districts at the home meet against Port Angeles on Jan. 16th.

We swam
against Olympic today and lost with a score of 107-75. They had
some very fast swimmers. Quite a bit different from the team
they had last year. We had many good swims and highlights
include:
James Cockburn
200 free
All three
swimmers in the 200 IM.
This was the first time for JJ Cadden
and Travis Priest to swim the event and they both swam great
times.
Lance White
and Steven Moore in the 500 free.
Lance improved his time from this year by 23 seconds!
Outstanding!
200 free relay
with a better time by 5 seconds.
Our divers
performed well but without competition from Olympic.

Wolves Improve vs RoughRiders
Click for Meet Results
Submitted by Coach Linda Bingler - January 16,2007
Today we swam against
Port Angeles (Mt.
Rainier couldn’t make it due to snow) and lost with a score of
75-111. It was a good meet for us though and a couple of guys are
near District Qualifying times. Steffen Estep swam a wonderful 100
fly with a time of 1:07.35 that was 2 seconds better than his best
time of 1:09.71 that he just swam last Thursday. The district
qualifying time is 1:06 so he’s almost there! Lance White swam a
great 100 free with a time of 57.30. The district qualifying time
is 56.50. Overall, we placed first in three events, 2nd
in 5 events and 3rd in 6 events. Our performance was
quite a bit better than the last time we swam against PA. Nearly
all the boys achieved new personal bests. Our divers performed well
and are showing great improvement. They will be competing in an
11-dive meet this coming Saturday. We will be at
Olympic on Thursday. We have rescheduled
one previously cancelled meet for Jan. 30 against Olympic that will
take place at SARC.

Wolves Top Knights

We braved the
elements and swam an away meet against
Bremerton
today and won by 2 points! This is the first meet we have won
this season and earlier in the season we lost to Bremerton by 7
points. This was a good meet for all those who participated.
We took 2, 3,
4 in diving and the results are difficult to read, so they are:
2 Jay
Barton score 130.15
3 Travis
Priest score 115.75
4
Teddy
Laboy score 76.80
We took first
place in the 200 IM (Lance White), 100 free (Lance White), 100
back (Teddy
Laboy), and 400 free relay (Steffen Estep, JJ
Caddin, Taylor
Hasenpflug, and Teddy Laboy). Many of the newer swimmers
helped us to the win this meet. It was great to see them
progressing with the technique of their strokes and their
stamina.
Tuesday we
swim against
Mt. Rainier and Port Angeles in
a double dual meet at SARC. We will have a make-up meet against
Olympic on Jan. 30 and the Divisional meet will be Jan. 25.

Peninsula Swimmers Tough
Click for Meet Results
Submitted by Coach Linda Bingler - Jan 4, 2007
Today we swam a league meet against
Peninsula High
School and results are attached. They have a powerful team but
we were able to place 3rd in 6 events. Not bad
considering the young team we have in terms of competitive
experience. Most swimmers and divers improved on past times and
scores today. Many swimmers were trying events for the first
time and performed remarkably well. We still have a lot of work
to do and expect a lot of improvement over the next few weeks.
We have a meet against
Lindberg High
School next Tuesday (Jan. 9th) at SARC that was not
in our original schedule

RoughRiders Too Much for
Wolves
Click for Meet Results
Submitted by Coach Linda Bingler - Dec 12,2006
Today we swam a league meet against
Port Angeles. The
teams numbers are fairly evenly matched,
but the advantage of a club team feeding the high school team is
pretty apparent when you look at times, placing and score. But many
of my swimmers and divers achieved personal bests in their events
and that is the important thing. Every split second faster is an
improvement.
We
placed first in the 200 Medley relay, 200 free, and 100 back.
Those achieving best times included Lance White and James Cockburn
in the 200 free (by at least 15 seconds), Steffen Estep in the 200
IM by 7 seconds, Jay Barton and Teddy Laboy in diving, Lance White
in the 100 fly by 40 seconds, James Lawrence in the 100 free by 7
seconds, James Cockburn in the 500 free by almost 2 minutes, Teddy
Laboy in the 100 back by 2 seconds, Alex Skinner in the 100 breast
by 1 second, and Parker Steichen by 10
seconds.
The relay names for the 400 free relay did not print out on our
results and they are:
Lance White, Travis Priest, James Cockburn, Teddy Laboy 4:26.61
JJ
Cadden, Nick Bowden, Nathan Gray, James
Henning 5:34.17
Jesse Ferrel, Travis Smith, Sam Schwab,
James Lawrence 6:19.31
We’re looking forward to the meet against
Olympic at SARC on Thursday

Wolves Drop Opener to
Knights

Today we swam against
Bremerton, our first League and otherwise meet. We scored 88 to their
95 points. Overall, the team did very well, considering how new they
are to competition. Our returnees from last year swam best times, such
as:
Chris
Gish (10 seconds better) and Taylor
Hasenpflug (19 seconds better) in the 200
free
Lance White (45
seconds better) and James Cockburn (12 seconds better) in the 200 IM
Steffen Estep and
James Cockburn (both 5 seconds better) in the 100 fly
Teddy Laboy (2 seconds
better) in the 100 free
Lance White (21
seconds better) in the 500 free
Slex
Skinner (2 seconds better) and Chris Gish
(17 seconds better) in the 100 breast
Newcomers who swam
well include:
James Henning and
Travis Smith in the 100 free
Travis Priest in the
100 back
Parker
Steichen in the 100 breast
Since this is the
first time we have been able to have a dive team in a few years, we
especially appreciate the points our new divers earned for us today,
Travis Priest 2nd place, Jay Barton 3rd place, and
Teddy Laboy 4th place.
We have a lot of work
to do, but the best part is that all the competitors were already
discussing what they need to practice more
during workouts. |
