ROCKY McVAIGH\/<\/strong>for the Van Wert independent<\/em><\/p>\n

On March 1, the Van Wert YMCA Marlin age 12 and Under swimmers traveled to Marion to compete in the northwest Ohio YMCA Sectional.<\/p>\n

Out of the two sectionals (Marion and Fort Meigs), the top five finishers in each event automatically qualify for the regional championships, while the next 10 fastest times from both sectionals also qualify, for a total of 20 swimmers per event. Swimmers over the age of 13 do not need to qualify at sectionals in order to swim at the regional meet. Northwest Ohio YMCA championships will be held today and Sunday at Fremont.<\/p>\n

The following Van Wert swimmers qualified in all five of their events: Tyra McClain, Emma Pollock, Jamie Burenga and Daniel Miller. Also qualifying for Van Wert were Katie McVaigh in four events and an alternate in one event, Risa Pollock and Aaron Stant made it in three events, Erin Miller and Luke Miller qualified in one event each, Anna Wasson qualified in one event and is an alternate for one other.\u00a0 Although the following swimmers didn\u2019t qualify to move on, it wasn\u2019t due to a lack of effort, they all achieve multiple personal best times: Noelle Heffner, with four; Dylan Neate and Ian Rex, with three; and Gracie Mull, with two.\u00a0 Details are listed below.<\/p>\n
