High School
High school had six athletes competing at this meet: five from A Group and one from B. They all did fantastic and had a great meet!
Zach Zeng had some amazing time drops! His best race of the meet was his 100 Breast. He got out strong and smooth, built into the first 50, and came back fast! He dropped -3.61! That’s huge for him.
Jay Song qualified in the 50, 100, and 200 Breast. His best event, however, was his bonus! He swam the 50 Free and probably swam it better than I have ever seen him. He was super aggressive in his 50, getting his tempo up and holding that top-end speed well. Normally he doesn’t kick, but that day he did! When he got out, he said he went fast so he could go watch the World Cup final!
Ani Purkayastha had some quality races! She was the only swimmer from HS to qualify for Finals. She placed 17th in her 50 Back and came out a victor, moving up to 14th! She swam well and scored 3 points for Wave!
Kyra Yuan sustained a severe hand injury just two days before Champs. Despite the pain, she was able to drop time in her 100 Breast! She went out fast and closed it out strong! She dropped 1.37! Kyra scored 1.5 points for Wave!
Yuzuki Ishizuka placed 24th in her 200 Fly! She came out of the pool with real tears of joy! She was bawling her eyes out and said she was so happy it was over and that she finished without needing any survival kicks along the way. I would say that’s a big win for her! Yuzuki scored 3 points for Wave!
Arvin Kandiah was the only B Grouper to qualify! That’s a huge feat for that group! His best race of the meet was his 100 Free. He went into that race with the mindset, “I’m going out fast and I’m dropping time no matter what!” He dropped 6.09! He also dropped 2.44
Purple & Senior Prep
The Purple and SR Prep kids absolutely dominated the meet. It was an amazing weekend for them, and I am very happy with how well they did. The group is overall a bit younger, with the whole group being 13. But that didn’t scare them, and we knocked off bigger kids all weekend. I can’t wait to see where these kids go over the next few years. Tremendous meet for them all. Highlights:
Cayden Smith wrapped up a successful long-course season with a strong showing at Champs! After aging up to start the season, his biggest goal was to return to Champs with a 13-14 cut. He earned his cut in the 50 Fly and had an incredible swim this weekend, lowering his entry time. He used a strong catch and long strokes to drop a few tenths!
Norah Braun had a great weekend of swimming, with some great times and big races. She crushed her 400 Medley Relay split. She also crushed her 100 Breast, dropping 3 seconds in the event with a great second 50.

Elijah Guo had some dominant swims throughout the weekend. His standout was his 50 Back, where he swam it in the relay, took some feedback, and made changes for an amazing 50 Back, dropping almost half a second. Elijah scored 2 points for Wave!
Fiona Herman woke up and chose SPEED for this meet. She was on fire all weekend, dropping seconds in the double digits across events. Her standout was her 200 Free Finals swim, where she went out fast and trusted her training to bring her home, posting a big-time 9-second drop in the event. Fiona scored 60.5 points for Wave!

Olivia Sellhorn was flying through the water this weekend and did an amazing job swimming ‘up’ in the 13&O relays. She crushed her three backstroke events and was moving so well. She dropped 6 seconds in her 200 Back with a great kick in the back 100 and strong finishes.
George Ursulenko had a great weekend of swimming, with some awesome relay swims and strong individual swims. His standout swim was his 200 Free, where he shaved 5.5 seconds. He had strong kicking throughout the race to carry that swim.
Ally Yuan had a great swim meet. She excelled in her individual and relay events. But my favorite swim was her time trial in the 50 Free, where she crushed a half-second drop from a great race, showing amazing kick and tempo.
Senior 1
The Senior 1 group had 24 swimmers compete at Champs. It was an absolutely incredible meet for the group. Senior Zones, Senior Sectionals, and Futures cuts were achieved. We also set several team records and one open team record. Everyone who competed stepped up big time and delivered some amazing swims. I had an absolute blast all weekend watching the kids crush their times. The hard work this group has put in this season paid off in a huge way this weekend. The group is on fire right now, and I look forward to that continuing into our Zones meets and into next year. Way to go, Senior 1! Highlights:
Sasha Arlouski had a very strong meet while competing in some of the toughest and longest events. His training really showed as he went best times in five events, including a phenomenal 200 Breast.

Ellen Feng was on fire all weekend, turning in best times in all her races, earning a new Futures cut, and setting two team open records. After a solid prelims swim in the 50 Fly, she knew that with a better breakout and finish, she could go even faster. In Finals, she put both pieces together, giving her a first-place finish, a sub :29 for the first time, and the fastest 50 Fly ever for Wave women. Ellen scored 124.5 points for Wave!
Joseph Foster was locked in for the whole weekend, achieving three huge best times. His mid-distance training has been going very well, and he absolutely crushed the 400 Free. He executed the strategy exactly as planned, taking it out fast, building through the middle, then finishing with everything left. This resulted in him dropping 3 seconds and putting him very close to breaking the 5:00 barrier for the first time.
Olivia Henaire was ready to unleash the beast, and that is exactly what she did, going best times in all her events and finishing in the Top 8 in everything. She had a phenomenal swim in the 1500 Free. She went out strong and settled into the pace very early on. She then methodically swam through the 800 before picking it up and speeding up down the stretch. She ended up in a dead sprint to the finish, which she won, giving her a second-place finish and a massive 24-second drop. Olivia scored 102.5 points for Wave!
Nora Herman has mostly been a distance swimmer but has really begun to hit her stride in the middle-distance events. She had three amazing swims in the 200 Free, going a best time in the relay, then in Prelims, and in a gutsy time trial going a third-best time and getting her first Senior Zones cut.

Yihan Li was ready to rock and roll and swim fast. That is exactly what she did, posting three best times and earning her first Senior Zones cut.

Victor Lyakhovitski was ready to step up and compete for the first time in the 15&Over age group.

He had a stellar start, then used a strong kick and fast tempo down the stretch to drop 2 seconds and secure a Sectionals cut. Victor scored 5.5 points for Wave!
Jonah Lynn was incredibly excited to compete at his first long-course champs meet. He made the most of it, going two best times and being right at his best in his other races.

That mindset proved successful as she qualified for Finals in both the 200 and 400 Free. She had a strong Prelims swim in the 400 Free, dropping 3 seconds and earning a second swim. She stepped up in Finals and dropped another second by swimming a stronger third 100 than in Prelims. Alissa scored 29 points for Wave!
