2010 Swim & Rock Invitational
Congratulations to the swimmers who participated in the 2010 Swim and Rock meet held on November 19-21, 2010. Due to the proximity to the PSU travel meet and the November Open the Swim & Rock meet was not a part of the standard Marlins meet schedule for the season. Registration for this meet was open only to swimmers who's deck coach felt it would be beneficial for their swimmers to get an additional "tune-up" meet in certain events prior to the upcoming Winter Classic and Turkey Claus meets scheduled for the first weekend in December.
Special congrats to Holly Jansen who set two new Team Records in the 10 & under 100 fly ( 1:10.60) and 200 I.M. ( 2:29.90). Way to go Holly!
Sarah Yao topped the best time list with a total of 9.7 seconds improvement with 5 new personal bests. Great job Sarah! Five Marlins swimmers had 4 best times over the course of the meet. Leelee Jacoby's total time drop was 8.16 seconds with consistend drops in all 4 events. Kate Croxton's total time drop was 18.02 seconds with an outstanding performance in the 200 I.M. Arjun Ganesh also had a great meet with 26.32 seconds total time drop and great performances in the 100 I.M. and 100 Free. Jessie Heise's total time drop was 27.85 seconds with her most impressice swim coming in the 200 Back. the top cumulative time drop performance of the meet goes to Vikramn Iyer who dropped nearly 50 seconds total ( 49.62). Vikram's willingness to take on two tough events (200 Back and 200 Fly) was key to his team-topping, eye-popping, time-dropping performance. WAY TO GO fabulous 5!
