Gator Swimmers of the Week -- Nick Dupuis and Torie Bolger

Not only was Nick Dupuis a double winner again in the meet against Lee-Graham, he had a great Relay All-Stars as well.  The most impressive part of his swimming is that he easily beat a Lee-Graham Dolphin swimmer who was well under last year's All-Star cut.

Nick swam a 29.15 50 free, defeating his opponent by 0.45 seconds.  His Dolphin opponent swam 1.25 seconds under last year's cut, meaning Nick was 1.70 below -- an impressive number especially in the 11-12 50 free.  Nick also won his breaststroke race over a pretty good Dolphin swimmer as well.

Nick, wearing Clark's cap and a new swimsuit, takes double firsts.

Torie celebrated her 17th birthday by earning Swimmer of the Week honors.  She won both her races despite going into the meet facing a Dolphin opponent with better best times of the season than hers.  But Torie won both close races.  She took backstroke by 0.21 seconds over her Lee-Graham opponent, and then won breaststroke from lane 5.  Her Lee-Graham opponent came into the meet 0.29 seconds faster than Torie, but Torie swam a season best time by 0.56 seconds to win another close one by 0.21.

Torie finishes strong for the win.  AFrac finishes a close third.

Congratulations to both Gators!
