Once someone "gets" the right motion and feel for the breastroke they
usually see a tremendous amount of improvement in a short amount of time. That
is definitely the case for Mustang 10-year old Spindrift (Spin) Beck. She has
gone from barely making one individual TAGS cut in a time trial at the State
meet when she was 9 to setting two new Texas State records when she was 10. In
between Spin realized that it does take more than just talent to succeed in
swimming. She actually began to work hard in workouts and the results have been
outstanding.
In early November Spin set the State record in the 50-yard breast (33.60) bettering a time that had been set by Laura Holt over 10 years ago (about when Spin was born!). Following that performance she raised the bar even further by shattering the 100 breast state record by 1.3 seconds with a blistering 1:12.64. Her other strokes have followed suit as well. At the ATAC meet held recently at Loos she set North Texas records in the 100 backstroke (1:06.4) and 100 IM (1:06.53). She has continued to do the job in workout and we expect that with her great attitude and humble nature she will be a great role model and Mustang for years to come.
Way to go Spin!!!
