Volcanoes swim well at Plumas Rapids Open
The Lassen Volcanoes swim team traveled to Quincy from July 21 to July 22 for the Plumas Rapids Open.
Head coach Camille Buehler was pleased with the team as they placed third overall.
Several swimmers for the Lassen Volcanoes achieved B times.
Achieving a B time is the first step into moving up the rung of age group standards and qualifying for faster meets.
Age group standards are set by U.S. Swimming and are designed to help swimmers know how they compare to other swimmers in their age group. Time standards are different for each age, and start at B times for the lowest levels. From there they get faster with BB, A, AA, AAA and AAAA.
Reagan Shrum earned B times in the 200-meter freestyle, 100-meter individual medley, 100-meter freestyle, and 100-meter backstroke for 9- through 10-year-old girls.
Claire Buehler earned a B time in the 50-meter freestyle for 11- through 12-year-old girls.
Ethan Trevizu earned a B time in the 50-meter freestyle for 13- through 14-year-old boys.
Isaiah Trevizu improved his B time in the 50-meter freestyle for 15- through 16-year-old boys.
Five swimmers also earned high point awards for their age groups.
Aubreann Rotlisberger earned third place for 6 years and younger girls, Jeffrey Clingensmith earned second place for 8 years and younger boys, Reagan Shrum earned second place in 9- through 10-year-old girls, Hayley Trevizu earned second place in 11- through 12-year-old girls and Jacob Clingensmith earned third in 13- through 14-year-old boys.
The North Valley Aquatic League Swimming Championships were initially scheduled to take place in Redding Friday, July 27 through Sunday, July 29, but the Carr Fire canceled the event.
Thanks, Volcanoes, for coming to our meet in Quincy! We hope to see you next year! Are you going to host a meet???
