Long Distance Swimming – March 2023 – One Hour ePostal Results


The following is the Oregon participation summary for the 2023 USMS 1-Hour Virtual National Championship:

• 42 Oregon swimmers (22 women & 20 men) swam and entered, our lowest number in years.

• 7 Oregon clubs/local teams were represented.

• Club results were not available when I filed this report. Due to our small entry, the Oregon Club will not be a contender for win, place, or show, and will be down significantly from our third place overall last year and our second place in 2021.

Congratulations to…

• Our Two individual National Champions (USMS Long Distance All-American): Dan Kirkland and Barry Fasbender;

• Our ELEVEN other individual swimmers who made the national top ten;

• Our ONE National Record setter—Dan Kirkland, Men’s 75-79 (4675 yds—brilliant!);

• Our FOUR relay team National Champions (USMS Long Distance Relay All-Americans):

o Women’s 55+ team of Jayette, Pettit, Arlene Delmage, & Valerie Jenkins (13,335 yards).

o Men’s 45+ team of Steve Wursta, Jim Josberger, & Hardy Lussier (14,445 yds).

o Men’s 75+ team of Steve Johnson, Bob Bruce, & Dan Kirkland (12,565 yards).

o Mixed 55+ team of Arlene Delmage, Valerie Jenkins, Steve Wursta, & Hardy Lussier (18,655 yards).

• Our THREE other relay teams who made the top three;

• Our ONE relay team that broke the National (and Oregon) relay record—Steve Johnson, Bob Bruce, & Dan Kirkland (12,565 yards).

• Our FOUR swimmers—Valerie Jenkins, Jane Nichols, Hardy Lussier, and Dan Kirkland—who broke Oregon individual records;

• Our THIRTEEN swimmers whose performances qualified or moved them up on the Oregon All-Time Top Twelve list for the 1-Hour Swim (https://swimoregon.org/toptwelve/longdistance/OROneHrTop12.pdf);
