Just a couple of weeks after reeling in a number of first place finishes with a handful of fishes in the southernmost pool in the Marianas, the Saipan Swim Club is looking to break the bank in their rival tank during the Guam International Race.
The SSC is taking 14 of its best and brightest stars to Guam for the two-day affair in an effort to repeat the success that they found in the South Pacific Mini-Games over the summer.
They will get their first taste of action today when they challenge the best from Japan, Palau, and Guam, and the meet will come to a close tomorrow, Wednesday, Dec. 28.
The last time the SSC paid a visit to Guam, Nina Mosley, Blair Nichols, Clay McCullough-Stearns, and Emma McCullough-Stearns earned their stripes against a formidable field in Guam.
Outnumbered by approximately 80 swimmers from a competing Guamanian teams, the fantastic four took it to their neighbors by bagging 11 first place finishes away from the familiar Marpi waters.
Mosley won all three of her events by taking the 50m freestyle, 50m butterfly, and 200m freestyle in the 15-and-Over division while Nichols did the same in the 100m freestyle, 50m freestyle, and 50m backstroke in the 11-12 year old division.
The McSiblings combined to take five tapes as Clay McCullough-Stearns cut through the water to take the 100m backstroke, 50m backstroke, and 50m freestyle in the 9-10 year old division while Emma was the best in the 50m and 100m breaststroke in the 11-12 year old division.
