Six Almaden Master Whale Heads traveled to Seattle for the Masters Short
Course Nationals on May 17-20. The high light of the meet was our new National
Treasure, Brad “Batman” Meacham. He displayed his “super hero” powers with first
place finishes in the 100 IM swimming .55 seconds, 200 IM swimming a 1:59, and
the 400 IM going 4:22. Not only did he win these events at this national meet,
he is now the top 40-44 male in the nation in the 200 IM and second in the 100
and 400 IM’s for the short course season. His swims were very exciting to watch.
He was joined by teammates Bob Auchard who swam all best times, Jeanette Soe,
Lisa Kerley, Thyra Tegner and Allison Hunt. The girls swam a medley relay and we
had a mixed free relay of Bob, Allison, Jeanette and Batman that placed 8th only
by .01 to 7th place. All six swimmers won medals bringing the total count to 24.
