Mustangs Set Pace at 2003 Kerr McGee!

This past year’s Kerr McGee Pro-Am meet in Oklahoma City was another showcase for the Mustangs. View the press release about our victory!

Forty-one Mustangs traveled to Oklahoma City for the Kerr McGee Elite Pro-Am Meet the weekend before Christmas. And Christmas came early for our Mustangs as they came home with the overall team title and the women's team title. This was one of those meets where head coach Mook Rhodenbaugh reports, “I, and many others at the meet, will remember this fondly for a long time”.

The Kerr McGee Pro-Am is one of the few meets in the country that offers prize money for swimmers (though our swimmers as amateurs are not eligible). Needless to say, many of the top swimmers in the country take advantage of the opportunity to win some money at the meet. So, when 27 of our 41 Mustangs score points, by finishing in the top sixteen in an individual event, then things must have gone well. Mook continued, “I can't remember when we had that many people giving those kinds of efforts for an entire meet”. Both the women and the men won at least one relay, and our women's "B" 400 free relay made the National qualifying time by two seconds, finishing second in the event behind our "A".
