Early Saturday afternoon at the Western Tidewater Swim-ming Association (WTSA) All-Star meet at the Churchland Swim Club, Rachel Waller knocked her older sister Danielle out of the league record books, blasting through the 9-10 25-meter butterfly race in 17.52 seconds, .13 faster than Danielle did it in 1999.

It was OK; in the last race of the meet, the older Waller got right back in the books, teaming with Kyle Jett, Ryan Hanson and Jarred Baird to take home the 15-18 200 mixed medley relay in 2:05.05, chopping 1.17 seconds off a record set by the Churchland squad earlier this season.

The Waller women, who helped Nansemond to a 7-0 this season, the team's first regular-season title since 1993 and the first by a Suffolk team since 1997, helped the Sharks to third place in the meet. East-West (EW) finished fifth, Suffolk sixth and the Tsunami (TS) club eighth.

Nansemond's Alanna Lumbard got second in the 9-10 100-individual medley, and EW's Quaid O'Brien did so in the 11-12 boys event. Jarred Baird was the first Suffolk swimmer to win a race, taking the 15-18 medley, and Nansemond's Katie Cook got second in the girls event.

Connor Fitzgerald, Logan Lancaster, Brooks Peterson and Emily Neuberg got EW a relay win in the 7-8 free, and Nansemond's Maddie Ebel, Austin Ebel, Rachel Waller and Allana Lumbard finished second in the 9-10 race.

Nansemond's Olivia Bono was second in 6U freestyle, and her teammate Georgia Richardson followed suit in 7-8. Taylor Dailey and Lauren Keating got Nansemond two seconds in 11-12 racing, as did Alexandra McManus in 13-14. Jarred Baird and Danielle Waller swept 15-18 competition.

EW's Brooks Peterson was second in both the 8U and 10U boys breastroke, and Suffolk's Katie Ellis was second in the girls race. Austin Ebel won the 9-10 event, and Jessica Johnston won 11-12. Nansemond's Jeff Goodwin and Jamie Iiams were second in the 13-14 races, while Ryan Hanson won and Nadine Saint was second in the 15-18s.

Olivia Bono won the 6U backstroke, and Tsunami's Zachary Whear got the boys event, one spot ahead of Suffolk's Greg Arcand. Suffolk's David Forman and Kathryn Schau swept 7-8 25-backstroke competition, while Hayley Pennington got the 7-8 50 race. Tsunami's Rachel McManus got the 11-12 event, with Nansemond's Ashmore Standing taking second. In the boys race, Nansemond's Taylor Dailey edged Suffolk's Chase Rice.

Allana Lumbard finished second in the 9-10 race, and Suffolk's Chase Rice and Nansemond's Taylor Bono won the 11-12s.

Once again, Connor Fitzgerald and Emily Neuburg began a stroke with an EW sweep, this time in 7-8 freestyle. Nansemond's Weston Lumbard won the 11-12, as did Tsunami's Rachel McManus, who held off Nansemond's Ashmore Standing. Tsunami Alexandra Mc-Manus was the final individual Suffolk victor, taking the 13-14 girls event.

Aubrie Naylor, Brooks Peterson, Emily Neuberg and Connor Fitzgerald won the 7-8 mixed medley for EW, and Nansemond's Ashmore Stand-ing, Taylor Bono, Shannon McDonald and Taylor Dailey were second in the 11-12 race before Kyle Jett, Ryan Hanson, Jarred Baird and Danielle Waller took their record-setting trek.
