2009 MCAT Award Winners
The coaching staff of MCAT is extremely proud of these swimmers. They were selected for these awards because they exhibited excellence and dedication in and out of the pool . "Swimmer of the Year" is based on dedicated and consistent performance at meets. It is given to an athlete that shows leadership on the team and competence as the club’s best swimmer. The "Swim of the Year" is the most heroic and awesome swim by an MCAT member. "Most Valuable" is selected to honor the swimmer who earns the most team points and who participates at the highest level of competition for their age group and gender. "Most Inspirational" is given to the swimmer who inspires others by exhibiting positive attitude and leadership through actions at practice and at meets. "Most Improved" is based on practice improvement and meet improvement. This award is subjective and is given to the swimmer showing improvement in all areas of swim development. The "Coaches Award" is often given to the swimmer that tries the hardest, listens well, wants to improve, shows improved times at meets and provides outstanding leadership in and out of the pool. This goes to a well rounded swimmer and is subjective in selection. The "Fastest Swimmer" on the team is given this award regardless of any other factors ( but must meet Sectional Time Standards for consideration). "Most dedicated" swimmer is just that, dedicated to work outs, attendance, meets and to their team-mates.
2009 was an outstanding year for all MCAT swimmers. What will you achieve in 2010?
