Senior Championships at Industry Hills
Eleven swimmers from Westside Aquatics participated at the Senior Championships at Industry Hills February 19-21. They managed to compact a three day meet into two days because of the inclement weather. Despite the wet and cold conditions we managed to have many outstanding swims. Stanford bound Alexa Merz won the 50 Free, placed second in the 100 Free and third in the 200 Free. Katie Wong scored in the 50 Free with her 13 th place finish and swam to a personal best in the 500 Free. Kendall Bohn placed in both the 100 Breast (4 th) and 200 Breast (10 th). Peter Fishler scored in the 200 Fly (15 th).
