(YGF). Following are the winners for the various pentathlons swum at the meet: Sprint Pentathlon By Elaine Krugman Katie Wright/ UC45 (W25-29) Jennifer Dill/ART (W30-34) Since joining U.S. Masters Swimming in 2010, I Cathy Jones/GMKW (W 45-49) have competed in a pentathlon swim meet each Karen Bartlett/GTAC (W 50-54) September. Sponsored by the SouthSide Seals, one Karol Welling/SSS (W 55-59) of the small local teams that fall under the Georgia Sue Ottosen/GMKW (W70-74) Masters regional team umbrella, the SouthSide Pentathlon is a fun meet. Rob Copeland, along Michael Kurtz/UC08 (M18-24) with other members of his swimming family run Sean Concepcion/NAUT (M25-29) the meet and do an outstanding job. This year, Matthew Hunnemeder/SSS (M30-34) Megan had the results out in a flash! Wendell Tucker/YGF (M40-44) David Banko/SAMS (M45-49) Remembering back over past pentathlon meets, Sean Fitzgerald/ART (M50-54) one of my favorite Masters Swimming memories Pat Eddy/SAMS (M55-59) was the 2010 Peachtree Pentathlon (as it was called Doug Michalke/GMKW (M60-64) then when it was held at the Kedron pool in Joe Reid/GMKW (M65-69) Peachtree City), when I participated as a newbie in Herb Chuven/GMKW (M75-79) the Sprint Pentathlon which included the 100y IM, and 50y races of each stroke (Fly, Back, Breast, Middle Distance Pentathlon and Free). In the 50y Breast, I made National Megan Copeland/SSS (W25-29) Qualifying Times (NQT’s) for my age group— Britta O’Leary/AWJ (W30-34) exactly to the hundredth of a second! Melissa Massey/SAMS (W35-39) Elizabeth Johnson/MASC (W45-49) Being so new to Masters Swimming, I was Jennifer Almand/SAMS (W55-59) shocked and very excited. It meant I could swim an additional race at Nationals beyond the three races Opio Douglas Jr/NAUT (M18-24) allowed for all swimmers. Little did I know that Matthew Jones/NAUT (M25-29) would be the last time I would make NQT’s in an Nei-Kuan Chia/AWJ (M35-39) electronically-timed meet. (Hand-timed meets Ian King/SAMS (M50-54) typically result in faster race times, and that was the case for me when I last made NQT’s in 2013.) Ironman Pentathlon I embody the motto for Georgia Masters: “The Gina Grant/NAUT (W18-24) older we get, the faster we were.” Sara Edwards/ART (W35-39) Elaine Krugman/GMKW (W50-54) Since that first pentathlon meet, I have looked Ellen Clay/UC45 (W55-59) forward to competing in it each year. In 2011 and 2012, I raced the Sprint Pentathlon, because I was Michael Soderlund/RAY (M50-54) a sprinter. (Everything I did was fast: walk fast, Rob Copeland/SSS (M55-59) talk fast, move fast – it was the only speed I knew!) Georgia Masters Swimming October 2016 - Page 3 In 2012, that all changed. I discovered the joys of events in 35-40 minutes with short rest in between distance swimming when I competed in the races. My race times were horrible under those Georgia Games Open Water Meet. I entered the conditions, but I figured it would make the actual 3K and 1K races and swam faster as I progressed meet seem easier in comparison. It worked. I through each kilometer. When I told Coach Mike actually took the most time off my last event of the Slotnick (co-host of Masters swim meets at Steve pentathlon, the 200 Yard Butterfly, and I even had Lundquist Aquatic Center) about it, he declared, something left in the tank to anchor the 400 “That’s a sign of a distance swimmer.” I replied, Medley Relay at the end of the meet! “But, I’m a sprinter!” (His declaration became a regular thing during subsequent training sessions I was proud of our when we swam together, and he noticed my speed small group of increasing as the session progressed, rather than Ironman the opposite.) competitors. Out of the eighty Mike finally had me convinced, and I started swimmers at the training for the long pool events: 1650y/1500m meet, only eight of Free, 400 IM, and 200 Fly. After successfully us took the completing (meaning I wasn’t disqualified and I Sara Edwards Ironman challenge; didn’t drown) the 200 Fly at a meet, Rob four women and four men. Since we were all in Copeland challenged me to compete in the different age groups, we all won first place (Hey, Ironman at the next SouthSide Pentathlon. you have to show up to win!) “You’re on!” I replied with enthusiasm. “Uh-oh, what have I gotten myself into…” was what I later The youngest “Ironman” mumbled to myself. was Nautical Miler, Gina Grant (18); and, In 2014 (there was no pentathlon meet in 2013), the oldest was John with much hesitation (and a stomach full of Zeigler (70).

    RELEASE: Feb. 25, 2005 MIDWEST FENCING CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP TO FEATURE FINAL HOME APPEARANCE OF ELITE NOTRE DAME STUDENT-ATHLETE ALICJA KRYCZALO Fans who swing the Joyce Center this weekend to watch the Irish basketball teams in action could have the chance to see one of the most accomplished and dominant student-athletes in Notre Dame history. It’s not Chris Thomas … and it’s not Jacqueline Batteast. In fact, this elite athlete will be competing in the other dome of the Joyce Center, doing battle on the north side in the fieldhouse. This weekend’s two-day Midwest Fencing Conference Championships will mark the final home event for Notre Dame senior foilist Alicja Kryczalo, who in mid-March will be taking aim at her fourth NCAA title. Winning three NCAA titles already has placed Kryczalo alongside 1940 Sullivan Award winner and distance runner Greg Rice for the most career NCAA titles. If she wins again on March 20 in Houston, Texas, she will join an exclusive group of 29 previous Division I athletes who have won the same NCAA championship four times. It’s a list that includes only two others fencers (men or women, with just one since the mid-1980s) and other such legendary names as distance runners Steve Prefontaine and Suzy Favor, wrestler Pat Smith, shot putter Michael Carter and a parade of swimmers who also starred on the Olympic stage (among them Mark Spitz, John Naber, Jenny Thompson, Mary T.

The Longhorns finished with 512 points, 11 more than the Stanford Cardinal. That margin of victory is the closest since the advent of the 16-place scoring system in 1985. Divers made the difference for the Longhorns. Troy Dumais was named diver of the meet for the third straight time after sweeping the spring- board events and taking fifth on platform.

    By Dave Hamilton IRVINE, Calif.--United States Swim- ming's week-long Outdoor Nationals hyphen Olympic Trials were analagous to simultaneously holding the World Series in two separate cities, with the teams never facing one another. Or, allowing the Super Bowl to be decided on the basis of season-long statistics fed into a computer. Somehow, despite all the hype by the announcers, all the comparisons on the scoreboard and, most of all, in spite of the good intentions of the meet _ organizers, the Nationals just failed to live up to everyone's heightened expecta- tions. For the most part, though, it seems that the swimmers were the only ones not let down by the results and their quote failure to beat the Moscow times, unquote.

  • A History of the Olympic Boycott of 1980
    “Ours Will Not Go”: A History of the Olympic Boycott of 1980 Interviewer: Matt Petraites Interviewee: Glenn Mills Instructor: Mr. David Brandt 14 February 2012 Table of Contents Page Interviewer Release Form……………………………………………………………..2 Interviewee Release Form………………………………………………………….....3 Statement of Purpose………………………………………………………………….4 Biography……………………………………………………………………………..5 Historical Contextualization Paper……………………………………………………7 Interview Transcription………………………………………………………………19 Audio Time Indexing Log……………………………………………………………57 Interview Analysis……………………………………………………………………59 Works Consulted……………………………………………………………………..64 Appendix……………………………………………………………………………..68 Statement of Purpose The purpose of interviewing Glenn Mills, an Olympic swimmer, was to determine the impact of the 1980 Olympic boycott from the athlete’s perspective, and to determine the role politics play in the Olympics. Examining the boycott from an athlete’s perspective provides evidence as to how the boycott impacted the athletes. The interview also underscores how Glenn Mills was able to turn the boycott into something positive in his life. Biography Glenn Mills was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania on November 21, 1961; however, for the majority of his childhood he lived in North Ridgeville, Ohio. When Mr. Mills was young, one of his two older brothers, Kyle, was diagnosed with Osteogenic Sarcoma, more commonly known as bone cancer. Shortly after the diagnosis, Kyle died, which caused Mr. Mills to become more dedicated to swimming. Mr. Mills moved to Cincinnati, Ohio to train with a more superior swim team. Throughout his life Mr. Mills also lived in Tuscaloosa, Alabama; Cleveland, Ohio; New Paltz, New York; Stevensville, Maryland; and New York, New York. His time in Tuscaloosa was spent at the University of Alabama, where he earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications. Near the end of his senior year in high school, Mr.
