With a win in the 50-yard breaststroke on Sunday, Katie Meili completed a sweep of all three breaststroke events at this weekend’s Pro-Am Classic.
The evening started with the women’s 200-yard backstroke. Ashyln Schoof of Schroeder YMCA took the event in 1:56.41, five seconds ahead of Mia Gibson. Eugene Godsoe won the men’s event in 1:42.58. He won by over five seconds as well.
Arianna Vanderpool-Wallace took the women’s 100-yard freestyle in 47.12. In the men’s event, BJ Hornikel out-touched David Williams to take the victory. Hornikel posted a time of 43.36.
Schroeder YMCA’s Hannah Saiz took the women’s 200-yard butterfly in 1:55.00. She won by a comfortable margin. Lauren Pitzer, who finished in second, finished seven seconds later. Bobby Bollier won the men’s event with a time of 1:44.53.
Meili won the women’s 50-yard breaststroke with a time of 26.95. She was over two seconds ahead of Olivia Heflin, the second place finisher. Roland Schoeman took the men’s event with a time of 23.77, barely ahead of Brendan McHugh.
Ashley Twichell won the women’s 1650-yard freestyle in 15:35.42. On the men’s side, Dan O’Conner of Mission Viejo took the event in 15:02.46. Chip Peterson finished less than three second later in second place.
The meet concluded with the 200-yard freestyle relay.
Mission Viejo took the women’s 200-yard freestyle relay in 1:35.31. The team consisted of Victoria Epps, Samantha Shelton, Victoria Gong and Stephanie Peacock. Schroeder YMCA finished in second. The team of Schoof, Saiz, Lindsey Bjornstad and Gwendolyn Worlton touched in 1:35.67. Dads Club Swim Team was third in 1:36.88.
On the men’s side, Texas Christian University won in 1:23.02. The team consisted of Garrett Hills, Jonathan Drewes, Chris Hearl and John Smith. Dads Club Swim Team was second with a time of 1:25.16. The team of John Calderwood, George Wozencraft, Timothy Bobo and Cory Stephenson touched in 1:25.16. Mission Viejo was third with a time of 1:25.16.
If that’s the correct time for Ashley Twichell in the 1650 free she moves into 6/9 all-time performers-performances. And here I thought Bill Rose only coached flyers!
Also Twichell’s time is a Southern California Swimming senir record and a Mission Viejo team record too. Old records both belonged to Chloe Sutton w/her 15:42.95 @. the Minnesota GP in Noveber 2K10. Congrats, Ashley. From high above Cameron Court Coach K. is smiling.

It does make it tough when results are typically only available at Meet Mobile at times.
