ANA Synchers Novice Team Takes 5 Gold Medals in New England Competition!

The ANA Synchers, the synchronized swim team of the Andover/North Andover YMCA is known for winning medals. In fact
the Intermediate and Age Group teams medal in virtually every meet they participate in. Well it seems that their younger
teammates have been paying very close attention! Last weekend the ANA Synchers Novice team took home five gold medals
in the New England Synchronized Swimming Association Novice and Masters Invitational Meet in Watertown, MA on April 29, 2007.

There was no stopping these young swimmers last weekend! Swimming for gold on the 8-under team were Nikita Chogle and
Angela Szarek of Andover, Emily Mastrocola of North Andover, and Francesca Sajedi of Acton. Anna Lang, Angela McNamara,
and Rachel Slade of Andover and Lily Koenig of Boxford took home the gold in the 9-10 age category.

ANA competitors had a tough day in the pool when it came to duets and trios as well. In the 8 and under age group category,
first place medals went to Francesca Sajedi and Anna Lang for their duet and Nikita Chogle, Emily Mastrocola, and Angela Szarek
for their trio. In the 9-10 category Lily Koenig, Angela McNamara, and Rachel Slade finished the day by grabbing yet another gold
for their team for an outstanding trio performance. Truly an impressive day for the ANA Synchers Novice Team!
