Preview: AAA Northwest Region Championship

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 09:38 GMT

In the most expansive of Virginia's four AAA regions, local talent from Loudoun and Prince William counties will vie for the AAA Northwest Swimming Championship, against teams from Stafford, Spotsylvania, and Roanoke counties, as well as a smattering of schools from as far south as South Boston, Va, this Friday, Feb. 10, at the GMU-Freedom Aquatic Center in Manassas.

Cardinal District champion Osbourn Park hopes to defend their regional title against the Cedar Run District champion Battlefield and perennial contender in the boys' meet, Albemarle High School (Charlottesville), the Commonwealth District champions. Also expect Osbourn High School, newly built Patriot High School, and AAA newcomer Orange County to get in the mix.

“We anticipate a lot of fast swims and very close finishes,” said Osbourn Park coach Amalie Eichas. “There is a lot of great competition out there, and we are feeling the heat.”

Coming off their Cardinal District win, the girls' team has seeded multiple girls in the top heat in nearly every event. Junior Emma Skelley leads the way for the Yellow Jackets, as the top seed in the girls' 200 freestyle (1 minute 55.41 seconds) and 500 freestyle (5 minutes 6.25 seconds).

Teammates Jillian Stevens and Audrey Kula sit just behind Skelley. Stevens is the second in the girls' 500 freestyle (5:16.01), and Kula is seeded third in the 200 freestyle event with a 1:56.57, behind Gar-Field sophomore Kelly Henry (1:56.57). Henry is positioned third in the 500 freestyle, as well, in 5:16.63.

Battlefield hopes to counter Osbourn Park's depth with high scoring individual and relay finishes by their foursome, Natalie Martin, Holly Criscuolo, Nina Tremols, and freshman phenom Sofia Revilak.

Martin is the favorite in the girls' 200 individual medley, but Osbourn Park's Courtney Mizerak will stay with her throughout the race. Expect both swimmers to distance themselves from the field in the breaststroke leg. Third-seed Bailie Monahan (Colonial Forge) will push the seniors early with her speed in butterfly. Monahan is the top-seed in the 100 butterfly (56.94).

Martin and Mizerak will meet again as the second and third seeds in the girls' 100 breaststroke, behind Kayla Brumbaum (Riverbend High School), seeded first with a 1:05. 51, in what should be a fiercely contested race.

In the sprint freestyle events, Revilak could grab big points for the Bobcats. The Battlefield freshman has not been challenged significantly this season, and she is quite capable of unseating top-seed Taylor Vincent (Woodbridge Senior) in the girls' 50 freestyle (24.37) and 100 freestyle (52.97). Revilak is seeded second in the 50 freestyle (24.80) and third in the 100 freestyle (53.65).

As third seeds in the 100 butterfly and 100 backstroke, Criscuolo and Tremols could also do some damage, taking big points ahead of Osbourn Park swimmers.

Hannah Harper (Albemarle) is the top seed in the 100 backstroke with a 59.77, the only swimmer seeded under one-minute. She is also the second seed in the 100 butterfly with a 58.50.

Expect close finishes in the relays, where the seeds for the girls' 200 medley and 200 freestyle relays are identical – Woodbridge first, Osbourn Park second, Battlefield third. In the 400 freestyle relay, Battlefield is first and Woodbridge is second, with Osbourn Park falling to sixth. But the outcome on Friday night will largely be determined by which relays coaches decide to stack with their star swimmers, meaning any team, including Colonial Forge, could leap up from a fourth or fifth seed to steal first.

The boys' meet will be extremely competitive between a number of teams, where close races at the top will have a major impact on the outcome of the meet.

“We have a deep team,” said first-year Osbourn Park coach Matthew Ragghianti. “We have talent not just in our top-tier swimmers, but also with high school only swimmers who can get up and score in 12th to 16th place.”

In the opening individual event, Osbourn sophomore Henry Campbell (1:45.50) and Battlefield senior Ford Whitticar (1:45.59) will face off for the second week in a row in the boys' 200 freestyle. Also in the mix will be junior Samuel Stronko (Osbourn Park), seeded third with a 1:46.40.

Ford is the second seed in the 100 freestyle (48.33) as well, behind Matt Lockman (Albemarle High School), seeded with a 47.68. Lockman also holds a notable lead in the boys' 50 freestyle, with a time of 21.53, over Michael Harman (Freedom-South Riding) and Reilly McGrory (Osbourn), seeded 21.99 and 22.07, respectively.

It could be an absolute dogfight between Orange County (Orange, Va.) and Osbourn Park in the boys' 200 individual medley. Orange County's Justin Barden (1:58.08) and Nick Montes de Oca (1:58.73) will battle Osbourn Park's Greg Stoffa (1:58.46) and Peter Lord (1:58.81), in what should be one of the most exciting races of the night. Barden is the top-seed in the boys' 100 backstroke (51.92), so expect early speed from Hornets' senior. Stoffa is the favorite in the 500 freestyle, seeded first in 4:37.59, so do not expect him to fade in this race.

Jacob Leidy (Broad Run) hopes to continue a successful senior, where he has been unmatched in the 100 butterfly. He is the top seed with a 52.62. The race for second will be much closer, where second through eighth is separated by just .71 seconds. Adam Mustafa (Osbourn), seeded third, and Thomas Scott (Patriot), seeded fourth, were second and third behind Leidy at last week at the Cedar Run District Championship. Ryan Hofmann (Orange County) is the second seed with a 54.60.

Patriot's Andrew Proper is the second seed in the boys' 100 breaststroke (1:0411), behind Andrew Williamson (Albemarle), who is seeded first with a 1:03.59.

“Some of the newer teams, like Orange County [coming from AA] and Patriot, could really have an impact on the outcome. They could take a lot of points away with their relays and their top swimmers,” added Ragghianti. “It's going to be an exciting meet.”

Warren Hills Regional High School boys swimming team wins Skyland Conference Raritan Division title

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 22:58 GMT

SWIMMING NOTEBOOK: The championship is the program&os;s first outright title. Zach Kantz of Bangor is The Express-Times Swimmer of the Week.

Zach Kantz of Bangor is The Express-Times Swimmer of the Week

The Warren Hills Regional High School boys swimming team is a Skyland Conference divisional champion -- no strings attached -- for the first time in school history.

"It was awesome, being with my friends on the swim team this year," Evan Graziano said. "We had a lot of success this season and it felt good. We haven't had that much success at Warren Hills in quite a while, so it was special this year."

The Blue Steaks finished their Raritan Division schedule with a 7-0 record. Nine years ago the Streaks shared the division championship.

Going into its final division meet on Jan. 18 against Voorhees, Warren Hills was extremely excited knowing the perfect record was within reach. Once they achieved the title, the Streaks remained humble.

"After the meet it was really nice and it was low key," Warren Hills coach Fay Perticari said. "At the end we did a small hug and that was it.
SWIMMER OF THE WEEK:

Name: Zach Kantz

School: Bangor Area High School

Class: Sophomore

Accomplishments: Kantz, who competes independently, broke the Nazareth pool record in the 100 freestyle with a time of 48.86 seconds during the Nazareth vs Central Catholic meet. Kantz's time also is a national qualifying time for the YMCA National Championships.

Honorable mention: So. Abby Thomson, Moravian Academy; Sr. Seth Watlington, Freedom; Fr. Grant Durner, Nazareth; Fr. Helen Hsu, Freedom; Scott DelFranco, Freedom.

"I promised the guys we would have a pasta party at my house with the other coaches. They are all welcomed over the house for a pasta party at the end of the season."

On Tuesday, the boys team found out it qualified for the state team tournament. The Streaks will oppose Scotch Plains at 3 p.m. today at the Scotch Plains YMCA.

Perticari took over the team two years ago and embarked on rebuilding the program.

"I feel really confident that we didn't lose half our team again," said Perticari, a former standout swimmer for Warren Hills. "I know some of the middle schoolers that are coming in the fall and I know we will have some key players coming in. I am satisfied with our team."
Graziano, a junior, is one of Warren Hills' top swimmers in the 50 freestyle, 100 butterfly and 100 freestyle and it's because of his commitment to the sport.

"I have to stay focused and keep working in the offseason," Graziano said. "Swimming is a year- round sport, and you can't take time off and expect to be good."

He plans to do a lot more swimming in the offseason and get involved in offseason lifting programs.

"I have to work on my butterfly technique," Graziano said. "I have to use my back instead of my shoulders. Learn to use my entire body in a stroke instead of just pulling through the water and being really choppy."

In the Hunterdon/Warren/Sussex meet, Graziano was disqualified in the 50 freestyle for twitching on the start.

"Evan is a definite asset for the team," Perticari said. "He scores a lot of points and he is very fast. We have been working on keeping him focused. When it comes down to it he can really put his mind to it and go for it. I think the DQ in the 50 free was huge for him. He didn't let it bring him down and he came back in the next event and had a great race in the 100 fly."

Perticari said the division title was nice but not the main goal.

"Our main goal is always to be better than the season before," Perticari said. "Not just the team but individually. As long as they see changes in their times, I have done my job. The conference win is a bonus."

Behind the Blocks: Mental toughness

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 05:06 GMT

It's that time again in the swimming world. Championship season. For many in our area, the high school season has concluded, with districts, divisionals, and regionals behind them. For others, their eyes are on the stiff competition at Metros and States, taking place over the next few weeks. But this week, the focus for NCAA swimmers everywhere, will be on the final preparations before conference championships, where the mental pressure and physical demands of multi-day meets will test their bodies like they haven't been all season.

The Olympic year brings a special significance to this year's NCAA championships. The athletes that they compete against are not just competitors from rival schools, trying to beat their team for a conference title. This year, the person in the lane beside you may be the one trying to take your spot in an Olympic Trials final, for a chance at making the Olympic team.

Swimming is about mental toughness. For the first ninety percent of the season, training is all about preparing your body physically. The last ten percent, however, is purely mental. How an athlete responds in a championship setting at conferences, could determine how they perform at NCAAs, Olympic Trials, and beyond.

Few know the pressure that comes with swimming at that elite level like our athlete contributors, who compete in the ACC and SEC, two of the toughest conferences in the country. Bradley Phillips is two weeks away from entering ACCs, but Amanda Kendall is in her final week of preparation for the Southeastern Conference championship. Michael Flach, training this season under an Olympic redshirt, is taking this time, when most of the country's elite swimmers are resting for championships, to push his practicing to the next level, heading south to train with friends under the Florida sun.

Read this week's posts from our athletes as they talk about what they are doing to prepare for conference championships.

Amanda Kendall – Louisiana State University

“This week with conferences just around the corner my emotions have been running high, and physically my body has been running low. I have been stressed over not feeling my stroke in the water, and physically broken down from all of the hard work we have put in during the season.”

| Read Amanda's blog post |

Michael Flach – University of South Carolina

“Some of my favorite memories of my SEC’s have not been the victories or the first place finishes, but in seeing a swimmer lay it all on the line for their team. Nothing swings the momentum of a meet like a gutsy performance by one brave individual. And if you love the underdog, there is one to root for in nearly every race. If swimming had a “March Madness” this would be it.”

| Read Michael's blog post |

Bradley Phillips – University of Virginia

“Every person has a different state of mind that will help him or her go the fastest. Some people need deafeningly loud, angry music to get them hyped up and feeling gnarly. Others try to stay as relaxed as possible, in a peaceful mental environment that eliminates all distractions that would disturb their focus. Personally, I get very energized and involved in competitions, and have worked on not letting my emotions negatively affect my swims, but instead using them in my favor.”
