GSCY's Inaugural SC Season Comes to a Close

Melissa Thompson

GSCY's first season post-merger was an overwhelming success!  Despite closures and restrictions, GSCY athletes had multiple opportunities to race, and the unprecedented season was marked by numerous fast swims.  The season's top swims can be found here.

At the conclusion of the Vorhees YMCA Festival, GSCY claimed the top spot for women's, men's and combined team.  The final day was highlighted by 2 outstanding swims: Jack Alexy's 100 Free ranking #14 all-time nationally for 15-18 men, and Matt Fallon's 200 Breast bringing him to #2 all-time for 15-18 men, only .01 from #1!  Y Festival online coverage including numerous mentions of GSCY swimmers can be found on SwimSwam Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, and Swimming World Magazine Day 1, Day 3, Day 4.    

In 8 short months, 27 GSCY, 18 NJS, and 2 YMCA National Age Group records were broken.  Swimmers, coaches, parents, and Y staff have come together through hard work, dedication, and overwhelming support of this program, and the season's accomplishments are shared by all.  The future is bright for GSCY.
