The January Open, held at the MLK Swim Center on January 23 & 24 ranked as one of the team's most impressive OPEN meets in team history. There were over 600 swims resulting in a 68% best time effort. This team wide performance is particularly impressive for this time of the season and can only mean GREAT things are on the horizon for the Championship meets in March! Special thanks to all of the Marlins coaches who were all equally impressed with the performance of their swimmers. We are all very excitied to ride this WAVE of success through the next few months.

Leading the Marlins historical performance were Audrey Moore swimmer, Derrick Do, and Cub Run swimmer, Julia Zhou. Derrick had the "meet of his life" with 5 swims ranking in the impressive "3 or more second time drop" category. Derrick's performance in the 200 Back and 200 Free earned him the top 2 time drop swims of the entire meet! WAY TO GO DERRICK! Julia also had a "break out" meet with 5 impressive 3 second or more time drop swims. Julia's best race came inthe 100 Fly where she dropped and amazing 17.9 seconds. AWESOME SWIM JULIA! JCC Swimmer, Nathan Albertson rounded out the top three time drop performances of the team with a 30 second time drop in the 500 Free. NICE SWIM NATHAN!

4 other swimmers had outstanding individual performances during the two day meet which resulted in 4 of their races with greater than 3 second time drops. Becky Burke had major time drops in the 400 I.M., 200 I.M., 200 Free, and a 13.5 second drop in the 500 Free. Dalton Chichester had 4 significant time drops in the 500 Free, 100 Breast, 100 I.M. and his highest percent improvement time drop of 8.87 seconds in the 50 fly. John Kost's 4 top time drop swims came in the 200 I.M., 200 Free, 200 Breast, and most impressively the 400 I.M. with a time drop of 20 seconds. Lauren Peters' time drops in the 200 Free, 100 Free, 100 I.M., and amazing 11.4 second drop in the 100 Fly secured her spot among the team's most impressive swimmers of the meet. CONGRATS to ALL!

There were MANY other great swims during the weekend. Seventeen additional Marlins swimmers had 3 second or greater time drop swims and still others had truely inspirational individual time drop swims. One of the most impressive things about the results is the very apparent fact that the Marlins swimmers are beginning to recognize the benefits and accept the challenge of competing in the longer events. Most of the impressvie time drop swims during this meet were accomplished in the longer and more challenging events. Swimming events which are OUTSIDE ONE'S COMFORT ZONE is perhaps the best way to improve self-confidence and inspire a personal work ethic which is essential for success in the sport.

GREAT JOB EVERYONE!
