The Sewanee TigerSharks competed in the 2013 Race League Championships at the Fowler Center on July 16, winning its 10th consecutive championship.
Hundreds of swimmers, parents and friends came from the surrounding region for the event, in which eight other teams participated. There were more than 65 swimming events as part of the championship.
The day was full of tight competition, fast swims and numerous broken records. Coach Erin Neil (C’16) stepped up to fill in for long-time TigerShark coaches Max Obermiller and Anna Obermiller, who had to be away for a family emergency. Coach Neil, along with parent Nicole Noffsinger-Frazier, rallied the team to win the championship title in Coach Max’s honor. Second place went to the CATS (Manchester/Tullahoma), with the Winchester Swim Team finishing in third place.
More than 400 swimmers participated in the meet, including more than 80 young people on the TigerSharks team.
High-point honors for the TigerSharks were awarded to Edie Paterson (girls 8 and under) and Zolon Knoll (boys 9–10). New race league records were set in the boys 9–10 100-meter freestyle relay comprised of Porter Neubauer, Zolon Knoll, Morgan Moulton and Harrison Hartman with a time of 1:11.44; the mixed 8 and under 100-meter medley relay comprised of Edie Paterson, Jackson Frazier, Libby Neubauer and David Dolak with a time of 1:33.59; and the boys 8 and under 25-meter breaststroke record was broken by Jackson Frazier with a time of 24.02.
