WLW Boys Swim & Dive

Walled Lake Western Mens Swim & Dive EST. 1969

[Walled Lake United Boy's Swim & Dive @WLUBoysSwimDive]

With apologies for our tardiness, last week's #GritSwimmer is Joey Kolinski for delivering a monster swim in the 500, dropping over 10 seconds to qualify for counties. The previous week's #GritSwimmer is Aayush Udapi for masterfully outswimming a ringer in the 100 Butterfly.

That's how to start the meet - swim the 2 fastest 4 x 50 Medleys. The A Relay (Paolicchi, Polo, Christopher, Middleton) is the @LakesVC Champ, and the B Relay (Evans, Hawley, Chapp, Varanasi) earned 2nd place bragging rights, if not the points. @SwimWalledlake @WalledLakeAth

[Walled Lake United Boy's Swim & Dive @WLUBoysSwimDive]

How do we follow a great Medley? By swimming SBs or PBs to score 4 in the 200 Free. Bravo Zulu to Anthony George (11th), Joey Kolinkski (7th), @mileshirsch (6th), & @aayush_udupi (2nd). @SwimWalledlake @WLCentralHS @WalledLakeAth @LakesVC @WLWAthletics

[Walled Lake United Boy's Swim & Dive @WLUBoysSwimDive]

Still swimming strong, WL United scores 5 (all SBs or PRs) in the 200 IM. Bravo Zulu to Anuj Arora (10th), Jeremy Chapp (9th), Trusting Christopher (7th), Joe Moore (6th), & Emilio Polo (5th). @SwimWalledlake @WLCentralHS @WLWAthletics @WalledLakeAth @LakesVC

[Walled Lake United Boy's Swim & Dive @WLUBoysSwimDive]

Curran Middleton (3rd) & Shreyas Varanasi (10th) scores twice more in the 50 Free (both SBs or PRs). Also answering the challenge with PRs were Jacob Hodges (24th) & Rachait Hadimani (25th). @SwimWalledlake @WLCentralHS @WLWAthletics @WalledLakeAth @LakesVC

[Walled Lake United Boy's Swim & Dive @WLUBoysSwimDive]

Our fierce flyers, Joe Moore (4th), Andrew Hawley (11th), & Kaito Imai (15th), took up the torch with 3 more PBS in 100 Butterfly. @SwimWalledlake @WLCentralHS @WLWAthletics @WalledLakeAth @LakesVC

[Walled Lake United Boy's Swim & Dive @WLUBoysSwimDive]

[Walled Lake United Boy's Swim & Dive @WLUBoysSwimDive]

In probably the closet race of the meet, 4 x 50 Free was decided by less than 1/2 second. Unfortunately, the A Relay (Middleton, Moore, Polo, Udupi) was outtouched, finishing 2nd in another SB. @SwimWalledlake @WLCentralHS @WLWAthletics @WalledLakeAth @LakesVC

[Walled Lake United Boy's Swim & Dive @WLUBoysSwimDive]

Avenging the out touch in 4 x 50 Free, Joey Paolicchi swims back in last 25 to be the @LakesVC Champ in the 100 Back with a PR. Bravo Zulo also to Sean Gretzinger (12th) & Wyatt Evans (4th) who also scored with 2 more PRs. @SwimWalledlake @WLCentralHS @WLWAthletics @WalledLakeAth

[Walled Lake United Boy's Swim & Dive @WLUBoysSwimDive]

Swimming side by side, Emilio Polo (5th), Andrew Hawley (6th), & Anuj Arora (8th) kept up the team's performance with 3 more SBs or PRs. Shreyas Varanasi (15th) also added to the count with another PR. @SwimWalledlake @WLCBoysSwimDive @WLWAthletics @WalledLakeAth @LakesVC

[Walled Lake United Boy's Swim & Dive @WLUBoysSwimDive]

What can be better than finishing the meet the way it started? Congrats to Relay A (Middleton, Paolicchi, Moore, Udupi), the @LakesVC Champ for the 4 x 100 Free (& another SB). @SwimWalledlake @WLCentralHS @WLWAthletics @WLWAthletics

[Walled Lake United Boy's Swim & Dive @WLUBoysSwimDive]
