The swimmers did a great job and I was very impressed with many of the times that were turned in. I have seen vast improvement since we began together back on October 15th. I also received a number of suggestions/recommendations to help make the meets run smoother, and I greatly appreciate the feedback.
I expect to have the ribbons ready for Monday's practice. Each swimmer earned a ribbon based on their order of finish in the individual events. Since we had to scramble and rearrange the relays, causing swimmers to compete with and against varying age groups, we will be distributing "participation" ribbons to all for the relay events.
While I am very proud of all 90 swimmers who participated, I would like to acknowledge the following who took first place in both the freestyle and backstroke events.
- Maggie Lavelle
- Doug Chase
- Eamonn McNicholas
- Christian Adames
- Kyle Montera
- Kyle Carroll (Kyle is a returning undefeated champion in the backstroke)
- Kelly Meenan
- David Vidad
- Bianca Lopez
- Brendan McGee
- Kiley Ferreri
- Erik Arians
My thanks to all of the parents who volunteered and helped out on the pool deck - timing the races, recording the order of finish, organizing the swimmers, etc. Your patience and diligence were outstanding.
Thank you to Joanna Vidad, David and Gabriella's mom, for taking pictures. They are now available on the website on the Photo Album page. They look terrific!
Looking forward to seeing you all at practice Monday night. I will have a consolidated list of all results available and will eventually post it on the website.
Coach Carroll (Kevin)
