 Last year's rivals will be back to square off for the women's division crown in the 2012 XTERRA Saipan Championship.
According to former Taga, Inc. president Bill Sakovich, defending champion Renata Bucher of Switzerland will return for the March 9 competition and face fellow returnees Jacqui Slack of United Kingdom and Carina Wasle of Austria and the now Guam-based Mieko Carey. Daz Parker, who had been to the two editions of the Crown Jewel of XTERRA Tour but missed last year's competition, this time will join the women's field, while 2011 champion Shonny Vanlandingham will skip the race for the second straight season.

 A new category has been added to the Saipan Swim Club's 8th Annual Meek & Mighty Ocean Swim that will be held this Saturday in the waters of the Pacific Islands Club in San Antonio.
The host club is introducing the “Minnow” division, which is a short and shallow course for young swimmers and has a distance of about 200 meters. SSC coach Gary Guzman will be at the course during the swim, serving as a buoy at the turnaround point, while parents are allowed to swim with their children. Participants in the “Minnow” event and the three other categories may use fins, snorkel, buoy, or paddles, but will not qualify for prizes in the divisions.
