Cassidy Bayer Faster Than NVSL Record

Cassidy Bayer broke three of her own team record at Time Trials on Saturday -- the 11-12 girls 50 free, 50 back, and 50 butterfly.  She set the records last season as an 11 year old, and smashed them on Saturday.  With 5 A Meets, Divisional Championships, and All-Stars still left, she has plenty of opportunity to lower them.

MVP rules state that team records set at Time Trials count.  But, NVSL rules state (fairly, I might add) that NVSL records can only be set at A Meets, Division Champs, or All-Stars.  Cassidy's record last year set the NVSL 50 meter butterfly mark at 29.71 for 11-12 year olds.  Saturday, she beat it by 0.10 seconds -- so her 29.61 time counts for the team, but not the league.  Pretty clear, huh?

Cassidy ripped time off of her Gator 11-12 50 free mark, cutting it from 29.07 to 27.94, which is also the fastest 50 free ever swum by a Gator girl, regardless of age group.  Heck, it's also 1.75 seconds faster than the fastest 50 free ever swum by an 11-12 Gator boy. 

Cassidy also smacked down her backstroke record, lowering it from 33.27 to 32.44. 

Cassidy holds ten individual team records.  Congratulations. . .I'm sure this won't be the last time we update her record-breaking this season.
