Durham Synchro means business at the Waterloo Invitational

Durham Synchro’s Tier 3 team under coach, Sarah Rowe, achieved a podium finish at the Waterloo Invitational, the first routine meet of the season. Even after a tough draw, the athletes pulled together to win 4th place in a tough field of 13. Team members were: Shannon Blaney, Meagan Caulfield, Wenjing Deng, Julia Ehrt, Ellen Hamilton, Amber Mealing, Ellen Ritchie, Brooke Stevens, and Julia Thornton. All eyes are set on the next competition for this great team.

The T3 duet of Ellen Hamilton and Julia Ehrt swam to an outstanding 2nd place finish. Their routine, coached by Sarah Rowe, is simply breath-taking and will certainly continue to succeed as the season develops.

Our Tier 2 team made a strong debut with their disco sensation routine. Coach, Amy McPherson, and swimmers McKenzie Broad, Stephanie Dalgleish, Rachel Enright, Samantha Gurrieri, Nicole Milligan, Reyanne Padgett, Nicole Rayment, and Samantha Weima competed in a field of 13 teams from around the region. Nice start for the season for our swimmers!

In Tier 1 action, coach, Michelle Lopers’ team finished just off the podium in 7th place. Athletes Andrea Beekman, Brooke Campbell, Nieve Iannarelli, Ellie Kozak, Samantha Low, Madelyn Minaret and Laura Walsh put in a sweet performance with their candy-inspired routine. Well done, Ladies.
