Wisconsin Masters Swimming October 2017/ November 2017
Wisconsin Places 3rd at USMS Summer Nationals Forty one swimmers participated in the USMS LCM nationals, which took place in Minneapolis, MN, at the Jean K. Freeman pool. As a Team, Wisconsin placed third in the Regional Teams, behind Illinois Masters, and Minnesota Masters. Surprising-ly, there were 9 individual national champions, with Melinda Mann being a three time national champion! The individual winners were: George May (50 Breast), Greg Hollub (800 Free), James Biles (1500 Free), Nick Hora (200 Breast), Jane Stew-art (200 IM), Nancy Kranpitz (100 Fly), Melinda Mann (50 Breast, 100 Breast, 200 Breast), Rachel Hawley (200 IM), Molly Woodford (1500 Free). There was one first place relay in the Women’s 280-319 age group, comprised of Candy Christenson, Jane Stewart, Mary Schneider, and Nancy Kranpitz. The Wisconsin team also had more swimmers in the older age groups, with only 15 swimmers under the age of 50, and 26 (63%) swimmers age 50 or older. It just goes to show, sometimes it gets better as you get older. Another surprising highlight was the number of newbies, including those who may not have attended nationals in many years, who placed in their individual events. A few others placed in relays. Bringing home medals from your first nationals is al-ways incentive to make a return trip. The newbies placing in individual events were: Tom Meehan, Lauren Mauel, Greg Hollub, Meghan LaPoint, Rick Pease, Rachel Hawley, Darcy Kelley, Dave Watts, Carl Millholland, Robert Hoganson, Scott Rich-ards, Renata Ringsven, Nick Hora, Alex Girard, Adam Bayliss, Scott Conley, James Biles, and Shelley Nolden. Individual swims to highlight include the 800 Free by Shelley Nolden, who dropped about 1 minute in the 800 Free, from her seed time, Jane Stewart’s one 1st place, one 2nd place, three 3rd places, and a 5th place, Tom Grisa, who may not have gotten any 1st places, but had three 2nd places, one 3rd place, a 5th place, and a 6th place, George May who had a 1st place, a 2nd place, and two 3rd places. Rachel Hawley also had a breakout meet with a first place, a 4th place, three 5th places, and a 10th place. Team Wisconsin all sat in one area on deck, or above the team in the stands. We cheered and encouraged each other from the stands and pool ends. Fred encour-aged everyone, and offered pre-race strategy. There were lots of smiles, as well as a few team dinners. Special thanks to Bobbie Wu for all the wonderful pictures he captured, which are shown on the following pages.

about registration from USMS. If you are unable to register on-line, you may print a form from the Wisconsin Masters website
at https://www.clubassistant.com/c/A0F3601/file/Docs/regform.pdf, or request a form from the Wisconsin Registrar, whose
name, address, and phone number are listed on the first page under WI LMSC Officers. Please note, Workout Groups may reg-

Request of Swimmers and Relays Achieving State Records
If anyone swims in a USA Swimming meet and breaks a Wisconsin Masters Swimming State Record, and the pool is on the
USMS list of measured pools, then the swimmer is responsible for reporting those swims to Jeanne Seidler
([email protected]), so it can be included in both the State records and the USMS Top 10 records. Also, if a swimmer
breaks a record at an out-of-state meet, either USA Swimming or USMS, or at an international meet, they need to notify
Jeanne, as it is impossible to track all of the meets swimmers compete in. Thanks for your cooperation in this.

COACHES CORNER- LONG COURSE NATIONALS MINNESOTA 2017 This past August, I had the opportunity to coach/observe the Wisconsin Masters that competed for Wisconsin on the Regional WMAC Team. This group did an awesome job with men and women combining for a third place finish with the ladies taking second in the women's scoring! I will report through "coaching eyes" and leave most of the statistics and times to the National Summary article by Mary Schneider and Records Chairman Jeanne Seidler. It was amazing that this team was primarily a collection of "Wisconsin's Who's Who" in the over 55 age groups. This included a combination of veteran "YMCA swimmers" and Wisconsin club masters with the addition of a few new older folks. This collec-tion of personal long time friends and the swimmers I did not know, but long time respected, was great for me. The under 55 age group veterans combined with "their elders" to lead about a dozen nationally competing newbies to some great swims. Their positive attitude and solid swims influenced the new ones "to get after it." I think on the team motivational level, the often unheralded 1,500 swimmers "got things rolling" on Day 1 with four great swims: David Watts (our first swimmer, 4th), James Biles (National Champion), Alex Girard (potential Packer linebacker, 3rd), and Molly Woodford (National Champion-winning by two seconds). What a great way to start the team scoring! Team scoring continued led by the following top ten individual women's scorers: Meghan La Point 11, Mindy Seidler 20, Erin Schneider 31, Rachael Hawley 37, Molly Woodford 38, Nancy Krampitz 42, Candy Christenson 46, Shelley Nolden 49, Jane Dil-lon Stewart 50, and Melinda Mann 61. The top ten individual scorers for the men included: Scott Conley 16, Bobby WU 20, Carl Millholland 23, Nick Hora 25, Tom Meehan 25, Greg Hollub 28, Scott Richards 31, James Biles 32, George May 36 and Tom Grisa 46. (Special note that our two "most mature by year's" swimmers Jane Dillon Stewart and George May combined for 86 points)! Finally, in regards to team scoring, many other swimmers contributed especially in the relays! Congratulations all! I want to recognize the spirit of competition and love of swimming brought by teammates Scott Conley and Francisco Lopez. Both were "regulars" on the deck for the team, and both "gave it" despite some hampering, physical stuff. Finally, I wish to thank the swimmers and their coaches for the preparation and training that went into this effort! We had over forty different swimmers that trained at a number of different Wisconsin sites in a number of different ways all managing to be ready to swim fast at the U of M! Swimming fast with your teammates is fun! Nationally, this long course team accomplished a lot as well as did the short course team that swam Riverside in spring. Yet, Wisconsin still does not get the respect it should. We are not one of the "glitter teams." In fact, much of the US Master's world does not even know where Wisconsin is located! However, we can fix the above and have some motivation for the next seven frozen months! What if the women won? What if the combined team made a top bid? The answer can be found at INDY, Spring 2018. Thanks again WMAC National Teams 2017, Fred Russell WMAC Coach

U.S. Masters Swimming Recognition and Awards Swimmer gives back—and gets recognized!
Members of U.S. Masters Swimming don’t confine their participation to the pool. There are many volunteer opportunities for their talent, expertise, and generosity. USMS recognizes the commitment of those who give back with the Dorothy Donnelly Service Award, named to honor one of USMS's outstanding volunteers. The award recognizes those whose contributions stand out in service to local, regional, and national programs. Up to 15 people are selected each year and nominations come from Local Masters Swimming Committees, clubs, and individuals.
Elyce Dilworth has been a continuous member of the Wisconsin LMSC for at least 15 years and a member of its Finance Com-mittee since 2006, a year after attending her first U.S Masters convention in 2005. Since 2013, she has served as Chair of the Au-dit Committee for the organization while simultaneously holding positions on the Investment Committee. Using her knowledge of accounting and controls, she is the one that audits the financial records for the Wisconsin Local Masters Swim Committee. Elyce has always pitched in when needed, and her steady work makes her a role model for other volunteers and an appropriate recipi-ent of the 2017 Dorothy Donnelly Service Award.
Open Water Rule Change
For open water meets, it is now allowable for a competitor to hold on to a kayak or physical structure, as long as no forward mo-tion made. This rule may be implemented by the meet director, but it must be specified in the meet information as to whether this is allowable, or if it will disqualify the competitor.
Timing Changes for National and World Records These FINA rules were effective 9/21/2017: A. World records, USMS records, and USMS Top 10 times may be established when the times are reported by an automatic
primary timing system. B. USMS Top 10 times may be established when the automatic primary timing system fails if the times are reported by a semi-
automatic secondary system using three, two, ot one valid button(s).
Long Distance Swimming by Mary Jo Driscoll
Fall has arrived and for those of in Wisconsin it means saying goodbye to outdoor open water swimming (however those last gasps of summer in late September sure were a nice way to extend the outdoor swimming opportunities!) This past summer was a great season in Wisconsin for open water swimming. Area events such as Big Shoulders, MOWS, Big Swell Devil’s Lake and the 1st annual Big Swell Milwaukee all took place under pretty good to great conditions. For those distance swimmers among us do not fear - there are some USMS events for you to participate in over the fall and win-ter to keep yourself ready and in shape for next year’s open water season. Right now through November 15th the USMS National Championship 3000/6000 e-postal event is taking place. This is an individ-ual and relay event in which participants swim either 3000 or 6000 yards or meters in a short course 25 yard or 25 meter pool and record their splits/time and submit to USMS. More information can be found at the following link: https://www.clubassistant.com/club/meet_information.cfm?c=1287&smid=8519 January 1 - February 28, 2018 are the dates for the one hour e-postal event, and May 15 - September 15, 2018 are the dates for the 5K/10K long course e-postal event. Stay tuned for entry information and details. Information on all USMS Championship long distance events through 2019 as well as the e-postal events can be found on the USMS web site at the following link: http://www.usms.org/content/ldchamps
