Mustangs Visit Seattle for 2003 U.S.
Open!!
The Dallas Mustangs sent seven swimmers up to this year's
United States Open Championships in Seattle
during the first weekend of December. Over 250 teams from all over the
world were represented and only three of those club teams could score more
points than our women's team. The top ten women’s teams were:
Irvine
Nova (CA) 236
Athens
Bulldogs (GA) 90
De Anza Cupertino
(CA) 80
Dallas Mustangs 77
King Aquatics
(WA) 77
Indiana
Swim 73
Lake Erie
Silver Dolphins (OH) 63
Lakeside
(KY) 63
Broward Aquatics
(FL) 63
North
Baltimore 52
Our top finishing relay, the 800 free relay, finished fifth.
And it took national teams from Canada
and New Zealand
and two college teams that recruit swimmers from all over the world to beat
us. Our 400 free relay and 400 medley relays both finished in seventh
place. Congratulations go out to all of our women who raced well and
contributed to the cause - Spin Beck, Candace Blackman, Jennifer Blackman,
Codie Hansen (who also scored in the 400 free), Katie Roberts, and Katie Smith.
We continue to excel at just about every level of
swimming. Our swimmers put in a tremendous amount of hard work and have
made the necessary sacrifices. The women on our National Team have
established very high standard for all of the Dallas Mustangs. They will
continue to be incredible representatives of the Mustang family.
Way to go Mustangs!!!
