| SWIMMERS SHINE
The BCST, which had eight qualifying swimmers in the fastest 18 and younger meet in the country, put their skills into overdrive while at the 2011 Junior Nationals held in August. Kim Williams qualified for the 2012 Olympic Trials with her 400-yard IM time of 4:49.76.
Ed Kim scored the fastest 100-yard Free in the country for 15-year-old boys. Also dropping time, Anna Keane shaved six seconds off her 200-yard IM; Kalena Laurent broke the Club record in the 100-yard Fly; and Steve Sholdra took nearly 10 seconds off his best time in the 800-yard free.
And three graduating seniors bid farewell with stellar results. Jimmy Deiparine dropped six seconds combined in the 100- and 200-yard Breaststroke; Ethan Hallowell placed 20th in the 50-yard Free; and Paolo Stanchi swam his best times ever in all five events.
In July, the team sunk the competition at the Pacific Northwest Swimming Long Course, finishing second overall, more than 1,000 points ahead of Issaquah in third. There were multiple photo finishes between BCST and King, which took first.
