Team Campo --

You're "awesome!"  Congratulations to all swimmers, coaches, parents, siblings, grandparents and other supporters for a great three-day OMPA event for CCC. 

Huge thanks to all parents who worked Spirit Week, the meet, and the Post-OMPA dinner; bought program ads, programs and T-shirts; brought food and drink for the team and coaches; and cheered on their swimmers through a Moraga summer heat that nearly melted even the most die-hard swim meet fans.

A high-five to all swimmers who braved early-morning warm-ups, swam in their first big meet ever or made the finals against stiff competition, achieved their "personal best" as encouraged by Kristen Lewis, OMPA speaker and former Campolindo High School swimmer, and had a great time.  A special thanks to six-year-old Maria Sanderson, who only recently started swimming in dual meets, for swimming in the first race Sunday morning as the only swimmer -- winning her backstroke heat and coming up smiling!  That's the Campo spirit.

Big kudos to our enthusiastic and talented coaching crew -- including Mike, Trevor, Devon, Marisa, Adrienne, Amanda, Lindsay, Tristan, Stefanie, Eric, Ben, Matt, Alyson, Sean, Dana, Sara and Shane -- for all you've done throughout the summer and through the meet, for our kids. You're the best!

And deep appreciation to all those on the swim team board and committees who spent countless hours helping make it all come together -- there are lots of unsung heroes in every pocket of our team.

Enjoy the story below, relive your favorite OMPA moments, and don't forget to go cheer on our County swimmers at the really big meet at Acalanes High School Aug. 13 and 14!

Cheers,

Cathy Morley Foster
OMPA Meet Director for CCC

CCC RECORDS, TIMES DROP LIKE ORANGE RAIN AT 2005 OMPA
Bartis Takes High Point, Schonborn is High-Point Runner-Up, Cleak is Third-Place High-Point Runner-Up


Campolindo Cabana Club swimmers again proved their swimming prowess, moving up to 8th place out of 10 teams, from a 9th-place finish in 2004, at the 49th Annual Orinda-Moraga Pool Association (OMPA) Championship Swim Meet at the Soda Aquatics Center Aug. 5-7.

Tyler Bartis, 8, took the 7-8 boys OMPA high-point award, capturing first place in all three of his events: individual medley, butterfly, and breaststroke, narrowly missing the breaststroke meet record of 17.63, but breaking his own team record again with a 17.73.  Bartis continued his undefeated streak in all his swim events during the 2005 summer season.

Coach Lindsay Schonborn, 17, tied for high point runner-up for 15-18 girls at the event.  She took second in the 100-yard freestyle with a 55.66, breaking Carrie Evans' 19-year-old team record of 56.10. She took second in the 50-yard breaststroke at 32.29, breaking sister Kelly Evans' 18-year-old team record of 32.65. She also took second in IM.

In a new development, it was revealed that inaccuracies in the high-point scoring for 11-12 girls resulted in Rachel Cleak taking her rightful place as third-place high-point runner-up. Rachel took fourth in IM, second in freestyle, and third in butterfly, setting a new team record at 29.44, breaking Vivian Tsai's 18-year-old record of 29.77.

Also breaking a team record was the 15-18 boys 200-yard free relay squad of T.J. Barni, Tristan Kaiser, Dana Foster and Eric Johnson, which placed fifth in the event. The quartet's time of 1:32.43 breaks a 20-year-old record of 1:32.82 set by Young, Arth, Drummond and Johnston in 1985.

PARKING
As you've seen from other emails, if you live anywhere close to the high school, you are encouraged to walk. Or drop people and then go park. Team members who don't live in or near Campolindo have been given neighborhood parking passes to park on Campolindo streets where designated. You will be directed by OMPA traffic personnel. These passes are DIFFERENT than the high school parking permits given to a few team members who are bringing in heavy items for the team itself. If you leave during the meet, factor in reparking or walking time to make sure your swimmers don't miss their races. Campolindo Residents: If you have guests coming in from outside the area, please make arrangements for them to park in your driveway or in front of your home (however, for those of you who live near the high school, you may find street parking will fill up fast, so encourage your guests to arrive early). Refer to earlier emails regarding parking, if you have any questions.

CAMPO TEAM AREAS
Our between-races area is on the Campo High School baseball field, near the back gate into our Campo Cabana Club parking lot, as noted above. There will be snack food and beverage items available for swimmers, and coffee for adults. Bring lunch or buy at the meet - there are plenty of choices. NOTE: there are no loudspeakers announcing races in the team areas. Parents and swimmers must check in with coaches well in advance of their races to make sure they are in the CLERK OF THE COURSE (see CCC Survival Guide) in time to race.

Bleacher seats for CCC will be in our designated area by the pool. We have pop-ups to cover part of the area but wear hats or visors, since it's usually very hot and sunny. Look for the CCC sign. Wear sunscreen and wear ORANGE!
