2012 US Open

Congratulations to Logan Storie and Jacob Pebley for their outstanding performances at the US Open meet in Indianapolis on August 7-11.  You can view the Meet page and see results and the webcast.  Jacob was the top finisher in the 200 back and 2nd in the 100 back, and also competed in the 100 and 200 free and 200 and 400 IMs.  Logan qualified for finals in both of his races, finishing a strong 22nd in the 50 free and 24th in the 200 free. 

The swiminfo website had this to say about Jacob's 200 backstroke race: "Up-and-coming backstroke stars Jacob Pebley of Corvallis Aquatics and John Conger of Rockville Montgomery battled it out for bragging rights in the men's 200m back. After flipping fourth and fifth at the 100m mark, the two swimmers began to pull away before Pebley took charge to win in 1:57.57, the 22nd fastest time in the world this year. Conger touched second in 1:58.14, with Santa Clara's Eric Ress in third at 1:58.42. Cory Chitwood of the Northern Kentucky Clippers, who qualified first this morning in 1:57.41, slipped to fourth in 1:59.13. Both Conger and Pebley improved upon their Trials times of 1:58.97 (Conger) and 1:59.46 (Pebley)."
