ABF Halloween Classic The Halloween classic was an IMX meet hosted by Attleboro Bluefish. Over the two days, athletes had the opportunity to swim all the events that make up an IMX score.

Hey all! It was a crazy first day. Whatever our expectations were coming in- they were FAR exceeded. I posted pictures on Facebook (Friend me: Greg Gillette) and they don't come close to doing it justice. The competition pool is AMAZING- hopefully, everyone at EST will swim in it as it is coming to New England after trials (our friends at Charles River Dragons purchased it). The water is almost glowing it's so clear. And the temperature is perfect. The girls didn't want to get out after warmups. The warmup...
One one-hundreth of a second. That’s what won the meet for us. ONE ONE-HUNDRETH OF A SECOND! That’s the smallest margin there is in swimming. Reading the summary from yesterday you may come away thinking that the 15-19 age groups pulled us through. That they were the "heroes" that saved the day because of relay margins averaging half a second. (This is 50 times larger than one one-hundedth.) There were many heroes this past weekend. I wanted to mention one in particular to make a point. We had a 13-14...

We were in third place at the end of Friday night (session 1)….. in second place at the end of session...
