Four More Team Records Fall On Saturday

While Hunt Valley got the better of MVP on Saturday, Gator swimmers got the better of four team records.

• 13-14 Girls 100 M Med. Relay.  Torie Bolger, Sarah Jones, Anna Fracasso, Jessie Bricker swam a 1:03.05.  The old record was from 18 Jul 09.  Maddy Bolger, Sophia Passacantando, Sara Bertram, Leigh Orleans and their time of 1:03.37 have been erased from the record books.
• 15-18 Girls 50M Backstroke.  Sara Bertram broke her own record from 23 Jul 11 by 0.09 seconds.  Old time 32.22, new time 32.13.
• 15-18 Girls 200M Med. Relay.  Sara Bertram, Jayne Orleans, Cassidy Bayer, Leigh Orleans.  New time 2.:10.87.   Old time from last year, 23 Jul 11 with 2:11.38 with Julia Bolger, Sophia Passacantando, Sara Bertram, Maddy Bolger. 
• Boys 18 & Under Mixed Age Relay. 200M Free.  Cameron Morey, Nick Dupuis, Kevin Adams-Mardi and Cyrus Adams-Mardi shaved a significant amount of time off their record from 30 Jun 12.  Old time 2:01.50, new time 1:59.91.

The most noteworthy part of the records is that Cassidy Bayer, a 12 year old, is part of the 15-18 medley relay record.  Coach Paul Makin gambled that the 11-12 girls could win the relay without both Cassidy and Holly Jansen, and that by adding Cassidy to the 15-18 girls relay (kids may swim up in A meets, not relay carnival.)

Congrats to all Gator record holders.
