THE
ATLANTA
RAINBOW
Trout
brought
home
a
bag
full
of
medals
from
the
recent
gay
swimming
championships,
continuing
the
strong
performance
they
logged
a
year
ago
at
the
international
event.
Some
37
members
of
the
gay
swimming
club
competed
at
the
International
Gay
&
Lesbian
Aquatics
(IGLA)
Championships
in
Washington,
D.C.,
last
month,
winning
eight
individual
and
four
relay
medals.
The
Trout
also
fielded
two
water
polo
teams,
with
the
top
team
winning
the
bronze
medal
for
the
second
consecutive
year.
“Things
went
really
well,”
said
Sean
Fitzgerald,
the
Trout’s
president,
who
has
attended
IGLA
championships
since
1995.
“I
don’t
think
we
could
have
done
better
on
the
swimming
or
polo
side.”
Fitzgerald
was
one
of
three
Trout
members
who
won
medals
for
at
least
the
second
consecutive
year.
Last
month,
he
picked
up
silver
in
the
Men’s
800
Freestyle
Relay
and
last
year,
he
won
silver
in
the
50
Freestyle.
Ande
Timpeiro
won
bronze
in
the
100
Freestyle
and
silver
in
the
Mixed
160
Freestyle
Relay
last
month,
adding
to
the
three
medals
she
received
at
the
2007
event.
Cliff
Miller
joined
Fitzgerald
in
the
Men’s
800
Freestyle
Relay;
last
year,
he
medaled
in
the
Men’s
4
x
50
Freestyle
Relay.
WITH
WATER
POLO,
the
Trout
took
21
athletes
over
two
teams
to
the
IGLA
competition.
Its
top
team
was
looking
to
repeat
its
third-place
finish
from
2007,
its
highest-finish
ever
after
several
years
of
losing
in
the
quarterfinals.
That
team
jumped
out
to
a
4-0
start
before
losing
to
the
Queer
Utah
Aquatic
Club
and
rebounding
to
defeat
Team
New
York
Aquatics
in
the
bronze
medal
game.
