Mustangs Visit Seattle for 2003 U.S. Open!!

The Dallas Mustangs sent seven swimmers up to this year's United States Open Championships in Seattle during the first weekend of December.  Over 250 teams from all over the world were represented and only three of those club teams could score more points than our women's team.  The top ten women’s teams were:

 

Irvine Nova (CA)  236

Athens Bulldogs (GA)  90

De Anza Cupertino (CA)  80

Dallas Mustangs  77

King Aquatics (WA)  77

Indiana Swim  73

Lake Erie Silver Dolphins (OH)  63

Lakeside (KY)  63

Broward Aquatics (FL)  63

North Baltimore  52

 

Our top finishing relay, the 800 free relay, finished fifth. And it took national teams from Canada and New Zealand and two college teams that recruit swimmers from all over the world to beat us.  Our 400 free relay and 400 medley relays both finished in seventh place.  Congratulations go out to all of our women who raced well and contributed to the cause - Spin Beck, Candace Blackman, Jennifer Blackman, Codie Hansen (who also scored in the 400 free), Katie Roberts, and Katie Smith.

 

We continue to excel at just about every level of swimming.  Our swimmers put in a tremendous amount of hard work and have made the necessary sacrifices.  The women on our National Team have established very high standard for all of the Dallas Mustangs. They will continue to be incredible representatives of the Mustang family.

Way to go Mustangs!!!
