Ellie Tieni Scottsdale Synchro swimmers had an awesome time in
Seattle at the Nationals!
Our 16-17 team is composed of mostly 14- and 15-year-olds. We
have one swimmer of the seven who is actually 16; all the others are
younger, but the rules say we have to swim in the age group of the
oldest.
We placed 10th - which is fantastic because all the other teams
had much older girls. Our girls looked so small compared to most -
but we packed a punch!
Here are full results, names, and routines:
4th-Place Individual Figures - 18/19 Age Group - Shelby Young
10th-Place Team - 16/17 Age Group - Laura Christy, Jamie Flanery,
Katelyn Meyer, Catherine Radachi, Jackie Stockwell, Julie Tieni, and
Olivia Widner 17th-Place Team -18/19 Age Group - Greta Cerviani,
Sonja Cerviani, Rachael Jake, Devin Maierhofer, Chrissie Stockwell,
Anna Swenson, Jordan Windle, and Shelby Young
11th-Place Trio - 14/15 Age Group - Jamie Flanery, Catherine
Radachi, and Julie Tieni 13th-Place Duet - 16/17 Age Group - Greta
Cerviani and Chrissie Stockwell 14th-Place Duet - 16/17 Age
Group - Jordan Windle and Shelby Young 22nd-Place - Solo - 18/19
Age Group - Greta Cerviani
I'm sure Scottsdale Synchro will be back again for the 2006-2007
season, making a splash! We are making some changes that will help
to get our choreography/music done sooner so that the girls can
practice the routines longer.
Also, each girl will have a choice whether she wants to do two or
three routines for the season. So, we are hoping these changes will
show even better competition results.
We'd love to make it into the top 10, so that is our goal. Our
season is over for four weeks, then we are back in the pool on
registration day Aug. 19, and our first competitive meet will be
some time in January.
