Schuneman, Osowski, and Street Set New MALST Winter Swim Records

Avery Schuneman and William Karels swam in their first meet in a year at the Watertown Optimists High Point Meet on Saturday, January 9, and Sunday, January 10. ‘It was great to see them competing again,” said coach Jodi Street. Schuneman cut time in every event and set a new MALST winter swim record in the 50-meter breaststroke. She was also rewarded with a nine-second time drop in the 100-meter freestyle.

Karels earned four personal best times and punched his ticket to the state meet in six events. Savanna Osowski achieved four personal best times with significant time cuts in her 400IM and 500-meter freestyle, making this the first time for her to go under five minutes in her 400IM.  “We continue to work on pacing that event for consistent splits within her strokes, noted Coach Street. “She also broke her own MALST record in the 100IM and took second place in the high point competition in the girls 15-16 age group.”

Amaya Street was named the first place highpoint winner in the girls 17-19 age group. She also had four time cuts with a massive 8.43 drop in her 500-meter freestyle from earlier this season.  Amaya set five new MALST winter
swim records: the 500-meter freestyle, 100 and 200-meter butterfly, 100-meter backstroke, and 100IM.
