The Portola Penguins Swim Team hosted the Lassen Volcanoes on Sunday, August 21st, for the second and last home meet of the season. Twenty-nine Volcanoes competed against 16 Penguins in 28 individual races and two relays. The meet was followed by a ribbon ceremony complete with a silent auction, BBQ and birthday cake for the Penguin’s coach, Jennifer Condliffe.
“My son Jacob and I came to Portola from Rocklin to watch my nephew Piper and the Penguins compete against the Volcanoes. It was a beautiful warm day, and the kids were excited and eager to swim,” said Svitlana Stosen.
There were some Penguins who set Penguin records, including Sadie Bourgoine who got a time of 21.25 seconds for the girls 25 yard backstroke, and Kylie Low who swam the 50 freestyle race in 33.76 seconds.
The Penguins thank the Volcanoes for coming to Portola on what happens to be a school night. “It was a lovely way to end the swim season, as well as summer vacation for our kids” said Maria Guy. “They are very much looking forward to setting new records next year.”
The Penguins invite everyone to stop by their booth on Friday, August 26, at Music in the Park in Portola for their last fundraiser of the summer.
