Several members of the Big Sky Montana Masters and one member of the Missoula Masters traveled to Coeur D’Alene, ID this weekend to compete in the Kroc Masters February Flurry. Wendy McNamara lowered three of her Montana records in the 60-64 age group at the meet and a new name in our record books, Louise Albershardt, broke four Montana records in the 55-59 age group.
Mark Your calendars The Championship Committee has made the decision to move the MT State LMSC Championship Swim meet from Butte to Missoula. The reasons are that we could not get enough officials, either on deck or for the administrative functions to hold the meet in Butte. The meet will now take place at the University of Montana Grizzly Pool (the same place as last year) on Saturday and Sunday April 6 & 7. We plan to have the meet…
