Eleven members of the Eastern

Washington Recreation Association

(EWRA) Hurricanes swim

team attended the Triple Pentathlon

meet at Whitworth University

April 16-18, 2010.

Triple Pentathlon’s format

is different from normal swim

meets because participants swim

an individual medley (IM) and a

race in each of the four competition

strokes (backstroke, breaststroke,

butterfl y and freestyle) in set distances

each day. The meet is a test

of endurance and overall fi tness for

the swimmers. At the end of each

day the times for all fi ve races are

combined and medals awarded to

the top six swimmers in each age

group.

“We were one of the smallest

teams in attendance, but we

brought home seven medals. The

larger teams defi nitely knew we

were there,” coach Jesse Weston

said.Earning medals on Saturday in

their respective age groups was Rachel

Schafer: third, Jared Geschke:

fourth, Joel Watts: fourth and

Rustin Babcock: sixth. On Sunday,

Schafer: third, Geschke: fi fth and

Watts: fi fth.

Additional Hurricanes at the

meet, posting personal best times,

were Samantha Abbott-Moore,

Stephanie Assonken, Kaylie Geschke,

Spencer Hagel, Marlena

Hamilton, Makenzie Norman, and

Jenna Riley.

EWRA Hurricanes is a yearround

swim club that practices

during the school year at Eastern

Washington University’s swimming

pool and at the Cheney outdoor

pool for the summer season.

New swimmers can join at any

time. Kids ages fi ve and up who

can swim 25 yards unassisted, are

encouraged to participate. Swimmers

can choose between 3-day

and 5-day per week programs and

busing from some Cheney schools

is available for practice during the

school year.
