Tsunami Saipan’s swimmers’ five record times set during the All Island Invitational 1 led the list of top stories last week.
Making record-breaking swims at the Kan Pacific Swimming Pool were Ryuto Yanai (U8 100m butterfly/1:22.10); Lukas Kang (boys 9 to 10 100m backstroke/1:21.96), Miku Tammy ( 9 to 10 800m freestyle swim/ 11:49.95); Kaito Yanai (boys 11 to 12 200m breaststroke 2:51.79); and Kensuke Kimura (15 to 16 800m freestyle/9:12.98).
Other notable events last week were the Northern Mariana Islands Volleyball Association’s 5th Annual Coed Reverse Grass Volleyball Tournament, Seventh Day Adventist School’s MTB/Road bike fundraiser, pre-Tagaman swim race, and the clinic of Hanwha Eagles Professional Baseball Club at the Koblerville Elementary School.
JR Gechig and Charnessa Lizama ruled the NMIVA grass tournament after beating Tyce Mister and Toni Yamada in the finals, 21-18, while Butch Sublemente and Mieko Carey led the winners in the SDA fundraiser at Paupau Beach.
Over in San Antonio, the pre-Tagaman course swim drew 15 swimmers with Jeff El-Hajj and Florence Antonio prevailing in the long and short races, respectively.
In Koblerville, five members of the Hanwha Eagles conducted a youth baseball clinic to a group of about 40 fifth and sixth graders from the Umangs.
Meanwhile, other on-going competitions on Saipan continued last week.
The Marianas Interscholastic Sports Organization had its girls soccer, boys basketball, and girls volleyball games; the MDX league played the last matches in the regular season; and the Rocball league had its second round tiffs.
