The Eagles Final Meet? Maybe Not

The TC Swimmin' Eagles headed north to Manteca High School on Tuesday to swim against Ripon and Manteca High Schools and dominated almost every event that they entered. The Eagles entered the Boys Varsity 200 IM (4 swimmers and 4 different strokes) with a coed team that consisted of Johanna Muller (Back), Daniel Braden (Breast), Colin Russell (Fly), and Rebekah Muller (Free) and won the event. I wonder what the boys from Ripon and Manteca were thinking?


Molly Zuhlke swam the Girls Varsity 200 Free and won by so much that I believe her hair was dry by the time the Manteca swimmer took second. After the first three events the Eagles had won all of them. One Manteca varsity swimmer told Molly Z that their team was afriad of the Eagle swimmers.

Rebekah and Colin swam the 100 Free in a special race head to head. Both their times were the fastest 100s of the day. Take a look at the video of the race.

The TCers swam another coed race against the Indians and the Buffaloes, the 200 Free Boys Varsity Relay. The swimmers included Micah Larrson, Molly Zuhlke, Rebekah Muller, and Colin Russell and won the race in a school record of 1:53.12. I believe those watching and those being beat by TC were impressed, but if they knew all the facts (the TC relay team consisted of 2 sophomores and 2 freshman) they might wake up screaming at night:O

Other outstanding swims included Micah and Daniel in the 100 Breast, Molly in the 100 Fly, Johanna in the 100 Back, and Rebekah and Colin in the 50 Free.

Way to go "Water Eagles"!
