Romp In the Swamp Big Hit with the Swimmers

If you heard the sound of chomping alligators coming from the park on Wednesday morning, no -- it was not a horror movie.   It was the annual ROMP IN THE SWAMP meet run by the coaches and the kids who made it to Divisionals this weekend.  The last swim meet of the season for most 12 and under swimmers, it featured plenty of fast Gators.

Winning their heats were:
Jack Dupuis (3x), Wiliam Cruz (2x), Gavin Fore, Graham Dale, Noah Webber, Peter Hannah, Leigh Kovalsky, Cameron Mulla,  Elizabeth Whitson (2x), Delancey Adrian (2x), Elizabeth Moorman, Leah Myers, Addison Dickerson, Saira Nagda, Sarah Coggeshall,  TJ Heck (2x), Bobby Kelly (2x), Lindsay Bombac, Nora Hixson, Jackson Hannah, Christopher Delaune, Sam Starr, Cecilia Morales,
Kenneth Krogh (2), Ellery Reinholtz, Olivia Heck, Ellie Cullo, and Grace McGee.

The youngest gators dipping their tails in the pool for the last time this summer were four year olds Michael Hills, Tommy Kelly, Josie  Cowen, Helen Milito, and Lizzie Grubbs.

Dropping time this time of the year is always tough but a group of swimmers took off some serious seconds. (And we're giving  everybody a break -- if a child got an assist from fins, it doesn't matter!) Among them:Leah Myers, Ginny Grubbs, Josie Cowen, Elizabeth  Delaune, Gavin Fore, Gavin Moore, George Schulte, Noah Webber, Samantha Cowen, Frances Webber, Boede Offringa,
Elizabeth Whitson (-16 and -23), Michael and Jack Hills (both -19), Rose O'Brien (-16), and Natalie Ruppe (-10).
