The record-breaking day started off when Jayne Orleans smashed her own two week old record of 39.15, swimming the 13-14 girls breaststroke in just 37.98. That is the first time ever a Gator girl has done the breaststroke in less than 38 seconds, as Jayne's record for 13-14 year olds is faster than the Gator girl 15-18 record.
Jayne's record setting swim
Cassidy Bayer provided the crowd with a thrill when she swam the 50 fly in 29.71, down 0.05 from her NVSL record set in Week 3 of the NVSL season. Cassidy holds the 9-10 NVSL record as well as the 11-12 mark, and she definitely will have opportunities to lower the mark even further next season when she'll be 12 years old. So there is no confusion among my readership, her NVSL record is also a team record (pretty self-evident on the face of it).
This is what the start of an NVSL record looks like.
And this is what the finish looks like.
Sara Bertram followed Cassidy's fly mark by lowering her own 15-18 fly record from 30.20 to 29.96. That's the third time this season Sara has broken the record.
Sara looks like a Gator about to strike.
And she did, slicing her own team record.
Sean Jansen put a cap on the record breaking day with an amazing swim -- perhaps the swim of the day. Sean has a seed time of 1:31.84. He busted out with a four second(!) drop to 1:27.78. That time blew through the 1992 record set by Drew Dinsick of 1:29.50.
Sean had to swim twice as far as any other Gator
record setter on Saturday, so he gets two action photos.
All total, 14 team records were smashed by Gators this season -- eight girls individual records, two boys individual records, two boys relay records, and two girls relay records.
Congrats to all Gator record breakers!
