Patriot Holiday Invitational Gets Rave Reviews

Our Patriot Parents stepped up to the plate to provide the work force for a top quality Trials and Finals meet.  It was our first attempt at bringing a much needed December Trials and Finals meet to the Metropolitan conference.  It was a great success bringing in teams from 3 states.  The coaches of our guest teams paid many compliments to our work force over the grueling 7 session meet, with adjectives like “smooth,” “efficient” and “seamless.”    Congratulations to everyone who invested their time, in a very busy holiday season, to make this meet work so well.

This was all done to create a wonderful opportunity for our swimmers…..and they took full advantage.  Our Swimmers put up excellent numbers……. 233 Personal best swims, 305 Silver Champ Qualifying swims, 53 Junior Olympic Qualifying swims, 36 Zone Trial Qualifying swims, 3 Senior Mets Qualifying swims, 2 Beacon Records broken, 7 Peekskill Records broken, 2 Patriot Records broken and  37 Swimmers participated in finals.
