The Gators Are Feisty At FRST, NOB, Devel Meets

Gator President

Wow what a month June was for the Gators! Many of our athletes got to witness the best swimmers in the world compete at the USA Swimming Olympic Trials at Lucas Oil Stadium. Our high school athletes took a fun filled, team building trip to Holiday World. Then we continued our development Summer Splash meet series with PCA, BBSC, ACST with 2 additional dual meets and the championship meet. Our young swimmers showed how much they have improved this summer with some fantastic swims. Finally the Gators competed in back to back weekends at FRST and NOB in our first taste of prelim/finals format of the summer. Up against some stiff competition, the Gators didn’t back down, throwing down many lifetime best swims, new championship cuts, and even 2 new Gator team records by Lucas Stephon! It was a great way to head into the last month of the summer season as we set our eyes on July’s championship meets. Highlights from the meets are below.
