The Eagles Fans Are All Wet

The weather was not what one would call "fan friendly" at Thursday's swim meet at Pitman High School against the Pitman Pride and the Buhach Colony Thunder (Atwater). You would have never known that the weather was bad as TC may have had the most fans of any of the 3 schools at the meet.
Mrs. Braden was seen desperately searching for the bathroom :O

Non-swimming Turlock Christian students and parents were out in droves for the meet.


This reporter counted somewhere between 20 and 7,123 TC fans in the stands and wandering the pool deck (closer to 20 then 7,123).

The weather served up on-and-off drizzle throughout the meet. The swimmers didn't mind at all, as wet is just another day in the pool, the fans had to suffer through the wet and surprisingly cold weather. Despite the weather the Eagles had a great time.

Royalty was seen at the meet, Princess Emily of Eagleton;-)

Everyone of the TC Eagle swimmers either won or placed in every event that they swam. For such a small group in the pool, 5 swimmers this week, they do very well. I am sure there have been more then one swimmer from the other schools that can't comprehend a small school like TC leaving their swimmers in their wake.


The boys team - all 3 of them.


The TC Coed 200 Free Relay Team (Molly Z, Rebekah M., and Colin R.)


Molly Zuhlke lowered the school record in the JV 200 Free with a 2:37.something as she took 1st place. The timing system recorded the wrong time, but Coach Paul kept it on a stopwatch. We will get that exact time for you in the near future.

Rebekah Muller set a new JV 50 school record, even though Coach Paul announced over the PA system that she should be swimming varsity, with a JV CIF Section qualifying time of 25.31.

Micah Larrson improved his 50 Free time with a 29.60.

Colin Russell tied his own school record with a CIF Qualifying time of 23.38 in the varsity 50 Free.

Molly Zuhlke took 1st place in the JV 50 Fly, swimming it in 37.15.


Daniel Braden swam the JV 100 Free in 1:06.54.

The 100 Free was swam by Rebekah Muller in 55.86


Colin set a school record with a 52.86 in the Varsity 100 Free.


Micah Larsson won the JV 100 Breast with a 1:21.73 and Daniel placed 4th with a 1:25.73.


Ian Roos is one of top swimmers on the Pitman varsity and a friend of many at TC.

Next Meet is at Manteca High School on April 21st. Looking forward to seeing you all there:-)
