Fourteen youth athletes from The Dalles and Hood River swim teams competed in the USA Swimming/Oregon Swimming Inc. (OSI) age 10 & under long course state championship meet July 13-14 in Albany.
The Dalles Dolphins, guided by third-year Coach Ann Goodman, had eight swimmers competing at the indoor Albany Community Pool. Those athletes included Hannah Anslinger, Aspen Denney, Elijah Bachman, Brody Whitmire, Hunter Hall, Angus McInnes, Noah Anslinger and Holten Lawrence.
“It was a big meet, and all the kids swam well there,” said Goodman.
Denney placed 18th in the girls age nine 100 breaststroke, and Lawrence plalced 18th in the boys 50 backstroke.
Hood River’s swim team, guided by longtime Coach Shelly Rawding, included Gracie Adams, Finn Blakeslee, Rowan Hogue, and JessieMae Williams.
“All of our swimmers did fantastic,” said Rawding. “Gracie had huge time drops in her 50 back and 100 freestyle. Everyone swam personal best times. We had only one event that wasn’t a personal best.”
Williams swam to a 35th-place finish in the girls age nine 50 meter breaststroke. She also finished 18th in the 50-meter free (44.65), while lowering her previous best time by 4.37 seconds. Hogue swam to 18th place in the boys age 10 50-meter backstroke with a personal best of 46.10.
Blakeslee swam in three boys age-eight events. Blakeslee was 35th in the 100 free (1:57.41), he was 44th in the 50 back (1:01.44), and he was 29th in the 50 free (49.85). He swam personal-best times in all three events.
Adams swam to personal best times in four boys age eight events, which included a fourth place in the 50 free (40.57). Adams took 14th place in the 50 back (51.60) and he took ninth in both the 50 breast (1:02.66) and the 100 free (1:37.17).
Hood River and The Dalles swimmers will compete in the USA Swimming/OSI Swimming long course age 11 & over state meet July 18-21 at Mt. Hood Community College in Gresham. The Dalles' twin sisters Solana and Maili Doty qualified; Solana will swim in the 200 free and the 100 breast and Maili qualified to compete in the 200 IM, 50 breast, 100 breast and the 200 free.
Hood Rivers swimmers who qualified for the 11 & over meet included William Frost, 14, Olivia Jablonski, Grace Roulette, 13, and Haven Stageberg, 14. Frost has qualified for the state meet six straight years. Stageberg, an incoming Columbia High freshman, qualified for the state meet for the first time in his four-year swimming career.
