2010 PVS 14 & Under Junior Olympics

HOLLY JANSEN

Congratulations to the Potomac Marlins 14 & Under Junior Olympic Team for their outstanding 74% best time (prelims swims) team effort and 9th place finish!

Lee District swimmer, Holly Jansen, lead the Marlins scoring drive with 50 individual points, 4 personal best times, 3 Finals appearances, 2 Quad A times, and a PVS Zone Team birth in the 100 Breaststroke with a time of 1:17.91. Holly's time also broke a long standing team record eclipsing the old mark by a half second. Awesome job Holly!

Topping the team's time drop performance chart with 6 for 6 best time swims were Zoe' Campbell with her best swim coming in the 200 Fly, Ben Gryski, who had great swims in all 6 events and the team's 3rd highest time drop in the 200 Free, Erin Johnson (second highest individual points, 31), with 3 great swims in the 50/100 Breast and 100 Free (Erin also earned a spot on the PVS ZONE team but was unable to go), Grace Liu, with her top swim in the 200 Back, Kyle Major with 6 nice swims and the team's top time drop performance in the 500 Free, and Gloriya Mavrova who had personal bests in all her races and got "bumped" onto the Zone Team in the 50 Free. Great meet everyone!

Two Marlins swimmers had 5 out of 6 best times. Nathan Bass and Caleb Yoo. Caleb's top performance came in the 50 Free with a triple A time and a 14th place finish in finals. Nathan had three impressive time drop swims, three finals appearances and a triple A time in the 100 Free. Great meet guys!

Seven Marlins swimmers had 4 for 6 best time performances. Luis Aguirre had his best two swims in the 100 & 200 I.M. Jason Gerber turned in his best performance in the 100 Fly. Allison Goldblatt's 50 Fly performance garnered her a medal and an 8th place finish! Holly Jansen had the meet of her life finaling in all 4 of her time drop swims! Martin Javelosa had two very impressive swims in the 200 Fly and 200 Back with his 200 Fly performance landing him a 10th place finals finish. Karina Kolb's sprinting abilties landed her in finals in the 50 Fly and 50 Free with 2 triple A times. And finally , Jonathan Pollock who had two great time drop swims in the 200 Free and 100 Breast and an 11th place finals finish in the 50 Breast. Five other swimmers had 3 best time performances including Tae Chang, who turned in the teams second highest time drop performance in the 500 Free. Nice meet everyone!

While the Marlins overall Junior Olympic performance has been steadily increasing over the past few years, our primary weakness remains in the DEPTH of the squad which prevents the team from scoring in the high value RELAYS and thus unable to keep pace with the teams which are able to field a larger squad. Swim team depth can only be created when the comittment level of the majority increases. To be competitive at the PVS Championship level takes not only "talent" but a lot of "time in the pool" and hard work. Remaining involved with USA swimming over the summer is a great way to get started on this track.

As with most things in life, SUCCESS favors the BOLD, the BRAVE and the BOUYANT. ( Hey, that's a good Marlins T-shirt for next year!) It is our hope that our Junior Olympic squad will continue to "REACH DEEPER" and "AIM HIGHER" over the next year and beyond.

Congrats JO swimmers! (and coaches)
