Well I found it hard to keep up the blog from day to day, wow coaching is such an emotional roller coaster.
The last two days of the overall went well, although we were a little flat on Day 3, but bounced back on day 4. As the RAYS coaches always say "Sunday is our best day"
Some of the many highlights was Becca Postoll finishing 3rd in the 400 Fr with a great race, then in the next final our Alum Alec Cohen finished 3rd in the same event. Then Jimmy Yoder was 3rd in the 1500 Fr and we finished with two more 3rd's with Melissa Postoll in the 200 Bk and our Men's 400 Medley Relay of Jarrod Blanton, Chris Lohff, Jimmy Yoder & Michael Dugan.
Overall a 4th place finish was an excellent result from us. We took 19 swimmers and 17 scored a great team effort. Kids were great, atmosphere great and the parents behaved :)

Sectionals Day 2
Well things got better with some amazing RAYS swims. We had 10 swimmers make finals tonight and they represented us amazingly. For starters we had two new Olympic Trials qualifiers today which runs our total to nine.
The Postoll sisters are both heading to Omaha in June. Melissa made the 200 Bk cut with a 2:17.1 & then tonight her sister Rebecca set a new 13/14 GA Record in the 200 Fr with a 2:02.7. Finalists tonight include Gabriel, Jimmy, Nathon, Chris, Alec, Michael, Taylor & Lauren.
To cap off the night the Men's 400 Fr relay finished 3rd. The RAYS are simply swimming great, with great support from the parent group too.

SC Sectionals 2012 Day 1
Well the RAYS arrived for Day 1 and were awesome in the 800 meter Fr.
The pool here at Greensboro is a beautiful Olympic size venue. Plenty of seating and a very fast tank. We started the night with Becca Postoll recording a best time and a 2nd place finish with a 9:01 which qualifies Becca for Summer Junior Nationals. Then we had Melissa Postoll swimming a best time of 9:21; Lila Best with 9:30 and wrapping up the girls 800 Rebecca Justus with a 26 second drop 9:34. The Boys only had one swimmer compete in the 800 and we had a winner with Jimmy Yoder recording a 1st place and a US Open cut of 8:18.
The Men's 800 Fr relay placed 5th with all 4 swimmers recording their Best time or close to it. The relay of Jimmy Yoder, Michael Dugan, Chris Lohff & Nathon Burwick had the honors.
