Westminster Roster

I’ll leave it to someone else to come up with a full description of their freshmen, but one name sticks out at me: Czaplicki. His brother made NCAAs in the 50 last year from F&M. If it runs in the family (I have no idea whether it does or not), he should jump right into Gesacion’s spot in the sprints. In fact, I expect the Titans would actually come out ahead on that deal. As for the rest……no clue.

I also noticed that Westminster had posted the new rosters. Being curious as to these guys abilities are, I went to PAswimming.com website and checked out what happened last school year during Districts and State Championships. Here’s the best times I found for the first year Westminster swimmers who are from PA:

Erik Chesney – 200 Free 1:56.18; 100 Fly 58.49; 50 Fly (relay start) 25.78

Brett Gerthoffer – 100 Free 48.84; 50 Free 22.35

Ben Gutmann – 200 IM 2:04.04; 100 Br 1:01.11

Adam Mackey – 500 Free 5:05.56; 50 Free (relay start) 22.92

Chase Saraiva – 200 Free 1:53.30; 100 Back 1:00.68

Steve Seidelson – 500 Free 4:53.85; 200 Free 1:47.95

Anyway it seems to me that Gerthoffer, Gutmann and Seidelson, (along with Czaplicki) will be scoring some points come PAC Championships time. Certainly a decent freshman class, but will it be enough to qualify some, as well as a relay to Nationals?

just because i was curious i looked up czaplicki’s older brother’s results at f&m. he ended up 5th at NCAA’s with a 20.80 (20.73 prelims). whats amazing is tht he was only 22.08 his freshman year. will this guy be like his brother was as a freshman or as a senior? will he be enough to get a westminster relay to ncaa’s?

Grove City’s roster is now available. . . I haven’t had a chance to look up anyone yet, maybe tomorrow. It looks like a big freshman class though!

Richard Albertson -swam at Ynats (doesn’t mean much other than he doesn’t suck), 2:04 200 flyer is all i found for him

Brian Schultz – 23 in the 50

Seth Zimmerman – 27.4 50 LCM

those were the only ones i could find, but i didn’t search that hard

I was well on my way to being impressed by the fact that both of their recruits were from well outside the WV panhandle. And then I did a quick-search, and, well…..
Feacher (from Florida): apparently a very good football player, but nary a word about his swimming credentials
Piekarski (from Indiana): came in well under 7 minutes in the 500 and almost broke under 2 in the 2free at a meet this past January.
(sigh)
Ah well, it’s only just this year that McGowan can finally start focusing on recruiting for swimming. See what that turns up for him next year.

Yeah, very. Anyone know anything about them (or the new sophomore from Texas)? The quick-search method didn’t work out so well for them.

By the way, does anyone with a little inside information know when we can expect the W&J rosters?

W&J men:
http://www.washjeff.edu/content.aspx?section=2512&menu_id=575&crumb=576&id=789

9 freshmen – here is what I know:
Forish – 22.8 50, 50.99 100 fr
Hilty – 1:51.5 200 fr
Martin – 1:03.2 100 br
Minster – ??
Morgan – diver – 382.5 1 meter
Sirkoch – 49.08 100 fr, 22.11 50
Taylor – 2:04 IM
Todd – ??
Wilder – 23.42 50, 49.88 100 fr
Munley – ??

Still no W&J women’s roster

W&J MIA:
Clingerman – distance
Couillard – distance, 2 fly
Delancey – breast
Ide – diver
Train – fly, IM

100 breast
15 Azzarello, Mike 12 Moon Area High School 1:10.07 1:07.25 2
11 Linck, Jarrett JR Gaithersburg 1:04.69 1:05.47 METQ 6

50 free
21 Linck, Jarrett JR Gaithersburg 24.03 24.43

Nothing on the Texas kid, nothing impressive

W&J women
Notes of point: 10 freshmen/25 total, K. Mastropietro NOT among them. Maybe one of their freshmen will free up Orstein to keep tackling non-breaststroke legs of the medleys?
