It’s been unbearably hot over this past month, but not so much for the athletes competing in the pool this summer.
YMCA club swimmers from Waynesboro, Chambersburg, and Hagerstown have all “stayed cool” in recent weeks, with each team taking on a meet and boasting at least one individual winner.
The Waynesboro Area YMCA competed in the Keystone Aquatics Memorial Day Classic and were highlighted by the efforts of Mady Barker, who won the 200 IM in the 13-14 division with a time of 2:33.02.
Penny Richardson, of Chambersburg Memorial YMCA, was a star at the MA CC Chargers Challenge Long Course in Mercersburg. Richardson, competing in the 11-12 division, earned wins in both the 50 backstroke (34.68) and 200 butterfly (2:56.81). On the boys side in the 15+ division, Chambersburg’s Amir Tasker won the 100 freestyle in 54.07.
Finally, the YMCA of Hagerstown Gators produced a pair of 10-year-old champions at the CAC Out of School Meet in Prince Frederick, Md. Haley Fuss won the 50 butterfly in 39.91, while Addie Philp conquered the 200 IM in 3:38.99.
Some of the area’s top swimmers are eligible to compete in the YWCA National Long Course Championships, set to be held in Florida on July 30-Aug. 3.
