This week's swimmers of the week are Jenny Bailey and Kenji Yoshinobu. Jenny was the only Panther to finish in the top 8 for all three individual events. She was also the Panther's top finisher when she took third in both the 50 free and 100 free! Jenny swam to a new season best in the 100 free, which moves her up to the number four spot on the Top Ten. She also swam courageously in the 200 IM, where she finished seventh in a season best 2:24.59. Jenny has really started to come into her own in the sprint freestyle events in the last few weeks. Now more attuned to her starts and turns than ever, Bailey's attention to detail has really been paying off.
Kenji did an absolutely fabulous job this weekend. He was the only Panther to swim season best times in all three individual events. His freestyle is getting really fast and he has the fastest flip turns on the team. Kenji is constantly blowing us away with his speed in relays. He dove in for his leg of the 800 freestyle relay yesterday and lost his goggles, but that didn't slow him down at all. Then, today in his individual 200 freestyle, Kenji set out to go under two minutes and touched at a 1:58.79. Then, to end the meet, Kenji battled the swimmer in the lane next to him for a 53.52 split. It's so fun to watch Kenji swim and to have him on the team. With his humor and his speed, he's always keeping us on our toes!
