Three Canby Gators team records
fell at the Mt. Hood Aquatics short course invitational January
16-17 at Mt Hood Community College. Samantha Smith and Noah Norris
each broke records at Mt. Hood. Thirteen Gators earned state
qualifying times at the meet and fifteen swam to all best times.
With so many Canby swimmers earning best times it was no surprise
their were twenty-eight who scored individually for the
Gators.
Samantha Smith earned two team records in the
400 IM. Her time of 4:45.43 was enough to eclipse the 15-18 and
Open records for that event. Noah Norris broke the 11-12 boys 50
free record with a time of 25.32. The 50 free record was previously
held by senior swimmer teammate Spencer Polack who set the record
in 2003.
Swimmers with all best times were: Brandon
Berthrong, Savannah Cruthers, Alex Hendrick, Kylie Hester, Alisha
Issa, Olivia McKenzie, Rachel McKenzie, Erin Meredith, Dean
Mischell, Amanda Moses, Ava Mundy, Sarah Norris, Wesley Norris,
Alex Olson and Tomas Shanks. Halley Becker swam the 100 breast for
the first time and Clayton Tabelle swam the 100 IM for the first
time.

One more note.
I neglected to check team records after the Animal Meet and found a
couple meet records while researching for the Mt. Hood meet. At the
Animal Meet Zach Scroggy broke the 10 and under 200 IM record in a
time of 2:44.05, held previously by Flurry Stone who set the record
in 1991. Michael Hargitt broke his own 400 IM records for 15-18 and
Senior Boys. The time of 4:15.50 bettered the time by six
seconds.
