Patriot Swimmers Apply heat to Winters Frost Meet
It was an unseasonably warm weekend, but we prefer to believe it was the sizzling performances by Patriot swimmers that brought relief to the Winters Frost. There were 267 personal best performances, 22 Zone Trial qualifying performances, 32 Junior Olympic Qualifying performances, 143 Silver Championship qualifying performances, 8 Patriot records broken, 13 Beacon records broken and 7 Peekskill records broken. Our Swimmers moved us much closer to our 2012-2013 goal of being in the top 500 of the approximately 3000+ USA Teams in the country, moving us into 520th place in USA Swimming’s Virtual Club Championship. With 3 regular meets and several championships left to go, we are very confident that will achieve that goal.
Our parents did a great job at staffing the many positions needed to run such a quality meet of over 700 swimmers. Their committment of time, expertise and effort made it very easy for the Patriot Staff to focus on the swimmers yet still enjoy a smoothly run meet.
