Today’s swim meet was one of the biggest ones we have all year. Thirty-six teams from Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee..
_______________________________
For example, in Men’s 50 Free, there were 120 entries. The women had 176 slated to compete.
So, a 6th place finish for the men is an outstanding result on the day !

A trio of early takeoffs plagued the women’s 200 Medley Relay and the men’s 200 Free Relay, disqualifying those teams.

Richardson, Edwards, Ogle, and Dalton took 4th in 200 Medley Relay and 3rd in 400 Free Relay.
The free relay took men back to within two seconds of last year’s state finals time and they dropped a second in medley.
Bissonnette dropped 13 seconds in backstroke and 3 seconds in 50 Free. Carico left almost 12 seconds behind on her backstroke race.
Lintecum dropped 6 seconds in free and Taylor had a double drop, shaving almost 2 seconds off free and 6 off breaststroke.
Garrison Wheatley dropped 5 seconds in breaststroke.
Plenty of great new times to go around, but these were the heavyweights of the time drops today.
And Swecker had an 8 second drop in breaststroke.
We are proud of our Swimmers 🏊♂️ and grateful 🙏 for Shannon Dalton ❤
