2026 Club Championships Thank You!

While it is not over yet - with the new champions hanging in the balance - this has already been one of our most successful hosted events to date.

We are so fortunate to have a team where everyone comes together to pull off an exceptional experience for our swimmers.

This intersquad competition provides an leadership opportunity for our older swimmers, and an opportunity for our younger swimmers to build relationships with the older swimmers.  Swimmers also had the opportunity to be coached by different members of our staff, and to build relationships across the team.

Hosted meets are a big lift for our families- everyone is needed to pull off a successful event.

A huge thank you is needed to a small group of people who lived and breathed the Club Championships for the past month plus.

  • Thank you to our coaches who ensured a great experience for our swimmers.
  • Thank you to our fearless meet director, Helen Cramer, who held all the pieces together and made sure nothing fell through the cracks.
  • Thank you to Joanne Luby, our co-meet director, for being a thought partner to Helen and for making sure that the technical aspects of the meet went off without a hitch.
  • Thank you to Board Members Vanessa Gage and Kira Goodman for ensuring that the meet was successful from a financial point of view.
  • Thank you to Rianna Stoll for setting up the volunteer shifts and ensuring that all positions were filled.
  • Thank you to Mike Hakiel for ensuring that our officiating needs were met.
  • Thank you to Lisa Chan Carnazzo for keeping our Socials up to date throughout the weekend.

This was an impressive effort on behalf of the team. Thank you to everyone who volunteered, reported to their assigned job on time, and cheered on our swimmers!

Go PST!
