A pair of 9-10 swimmers were chosen as Swimmers of the Week for key wins in the meet against Mosby Woods -- Brian McNamara and Olivia Blondin.
Brian was selected for his key win in the 9-10 boys breaststroke. He led a Gator sweep. Before Brian's win, the Gators had a tenuous six point lead. After Brian led the sweep (along with Parker Blondin and Joseph Ienzi), the close meet turned into a 68 point victory -- Brian got it going, and the rest of the Gators picked up on the momentum.
Olivia Blondin earned the honors on the girls side for her "Outside Smoke" in the 9-10 girls fly. "Outside Smoke" refers to a really fast swim from lanes one or six. Olivia was in lane six and blew away two Mosby Woods swimmers in a very exciting race. Olivia was in third place partway through the race, threw it in to high gear, and beat the Raiders swimmers by 0.23 and 0.27 seconds respectively.
Congrats to both.
Editor's Note: Swimmers of the Week are selected solely at the discretion of the writer (who also happens to be the editor). Please send complaints or disagreements to idontcare@gmail.com. Attempts to bribe the editor (particularly with good wine) are appreciated but also fruitless (hopefully the wine isn't fruitless, but the bribery attempt would be).
