University of Chicago 1/12/07-1/13/07


This week's swimmers of the week are Leslie Worley and Trey Dutton!

Leslie finally had the lifetime best swims we were waiting for. She's starting to get excited about distance freestyle again and it shows. Last weekend, she came from behind to win the 500 free and also dropped 12 seconds from her previous lifetime best. The next day, she went on to drop two seconds from her previous lifetime best in the 200 free, as well. She really shone this weekend as a competitor and as a person. She was happy, encouraging, hopeful, and determined. Way to go, Leslie!

Trey started making his comeback last weekend and it just continued this weekend. He swam season bests in his 100 and 200 breaststrokes and equalled his lifetime best swim down to the hundredth in the 50 free. Trey is so coachable and dedicated to this program. He really cares about those around him. This weekend, he got out of his comfort zone and spent the break entertaining his teammates. Although working through a challenge while swimming the last relay, Trey never gave less than his all. He never asked to be taken out of it, he simply dove in and swam. Most would say that the best leaders lead by example, and that's just what Trey is always doing.
