The 9-10 boys started out by crushing their own record from the 25th of June, as Collin Sundsted (back), Sean Jansen (breaststroke), Cole Miller (fly), and Nick Dupuis (free) lowered the mark from 1:17.24 to 1:15.34, a cut of nearly two seconds.
Sean dives in as Collin hits the wall.
They then followed up with busticating (it may not be, but it SHOULD be a word) the 9-10 boys 100 meter freestyle record set back in 1996 of 1:07.29 by swimming a 1:06.56. Thus, Sean, Cole, Tyler Dunn, and Nick knocked Nick Magallanes, John Miller, M. Glaws, and Jay McGill from the Gator record book.
The 9-10 boys took an early lead in the 100 meter
free relay, and never looked back.
The mark set by the 15-18 girls in the 200 free relay is remarkable for several reasons. First, the record stood since 1978. Secondly, the girls broke it by among the narrowest of margins -- 0.04 seconds. Thirdly, despite swimming a new team record, the girls finished fourth, which highlights how strong Division 3 is. Finally, the 1978 team record was the last girls' relay mark standing since before 2006 -- now every Gator girl relay record has been set in the last six seasons -- a remarkable run of record-setting by the Gator girls.
The drama of the moment is almost too much
for Sophia to bear. Julia exhorts on Sara
as Maddy looks nervous.
The team of Sara Bertram, Julia Bolger, Sophia Passacantando, and Maddy Bolger swam a 2:00.16, just good enough to knock the 2:00.20 mark set in 1978 by L. Howerton, Kim Nedbal, S. Lee, and Carol Taylor.
Congrats to the nine swimmers who rewrote the team record books last night!
