Relays only make All-Stars if they were one of the top 18 relays out of all of the 103 NVSL teams. That's purely determined by how well they swim at Divisional Relays -- and those include BOTH a free relay and a medley relay.
Remember also that relay make-up can change based on performance. So it is possible that the teams below will shift between now and Divisional Relays.
That noted, it is never to early to start handicapping Gator chances. After the first week of A meets, the Gator relays ranked 18th or better include (swimmers are listed alpha order, not stroke order):
6th Ranked -- 9-10 boys medley of Andrew Baker, Parker Blondin, TJ Heck, and Andrei Zaitsev.
7th Ranked -- 11-12 boys medley of Nick Dupuis, Sean Jansen, Cole Miller, and Collin Sundsted.
8th Ranked -- 9-10 girls medley of Olivia Blondin, Abigail Dittman, Emily Makin, and Juliana Skopp-Cardillo.
12th Ranked -- 15-18 girls medley of Sara Bertram, Maddy Bolger, Torie Bolger, and Sophia Passacantando.
14th Ranked -- Girls Mixed Age free relay of Claudia Theriot, Juliana Skopp-Cardillo, Jessie Bricker, and Sara Bertram (not alpha, but actual swim order).
15th Ranked -- 11-12 girls medley of Mac Brotherton, Emma Jones, Sheridan Phalen, and Claudia Theriot.
18th Ranked -- 13-14 girls medley of Jessie Bricker, Parker Fulghum, Mollie Passacantando, and Elaina Phalen (the four swam the medley in alphabetical order!)
Not far from the top 18:
23rd Ranked -- 8 & under boys free of Lucas Garvey, Joseph Humphreys, James Piland, and Colby Webber.
23rd Ranked -- 13-14 boys medley of Ian Baker, Dom Heratsch, Gus Leyden, and Cameron Morey.
That's pretty good -- six of our twelve relay swims from Saturday are top ranked top 18, with two more on the bubble. (Shows how good Fairfax's relays were if they won seven of the twelve relays!). This grizzled old NVSL watcher will continue to track this over the next couple of weeks as we move closer to Divisional Relays on July 10th at Wakefield Chapel, which is a fast pool.
