an Individual Medley swim (an event in which competitors
swim all four strokes in succession).

place - 9 year old boys), Shea Mielke ( 3rd place
- 9 year old boys), Cole Avery (1st place - 10

 Jessica
Vlasic named Swimmer of the Year 12/19/07 Vlasic
may be a bit hesitant when it comes to athletes and
their occasional propensity for self-promotion. But
she’s easily among the most talented, and that makes
her The Bellingham Herald’s Girls’ Swimming Athlete
of the Year.
Vlasic earned
second-place medals in the 200-yard freestyle and 500
freestyle at the Class 3A state swimming meet last month
in Federal Way. That capped a stellar season during
which Vlasic had Whatcom County’s best times in each
event, and she saved the best for last, improving upon
her state-meet performance from 2006, when she finished
third in the 200 and fifth in the 500.
