Waynewood Meet Features No Rain, Fast Swims

Good news? It only took 75 minutes to complete all the freestyle heats this past Monday at the annual Waynewood/MVP B meet.  Oh, and unlike usual for the Waynewood meet, it did not rain!

Bad news? It took more than 2 hours to complete the rest. In total, more than 60 heats of competitors jumped into the pool.

But the swimmers didn’t seem to mind competing into the dark.
Numerous personal bests were achieved.

Those swimmers cutting off more than a second since the time trials include: James Piland,  Aidan Fisher, Joe and Paige Humphreys, Ray Galford, Taylor Makin, Juliana Skopp-Cardillo, Lily Penn, Lara and Cole Miller, Kendall Shafer, Elizabeth Oakeley, Lucas Garvey, Cecelia Morales, Katya and Andre Zaitsev, Mary Claire O’Brien, Tyler Dunn, Olivia Johansson, Maura Finn, Carl Questad, Cole Snodgrass, Kevin Adams-Mardi, Austin Neal, Mac Brotherton, Abby Dittman, and Liam Orr.  Seven-year-old Dylan Moore dropped more than 17 seconds in two days while swimming the 25-meter backstroke.

One five year old dipped his toe into the water, too – coach’s son Matthew Makin swam his first race.
