Swimmers of the Week -- Kevin Adams Mardi & Sheridan Phalen

There were a lot of Gators to choose from in naming this week's Swimmers of the Week.  I actually flip-flopped several times before make a final decision on Kevin Adams-Mardi and Sheridan Phalen.

Kevin earned the honors by taking two key first place finishes in the 15-18 boys freestyle and breaststroke, both times holding off two Fairfax swimmers to get the 5-4 event wins.

Kevin cruises home to the victory!

His wins provided good drama. 

Sheridan also won both of her events, but the clincher for her earning the honors was the closeness of her freestyle win.  Sheridan beat her Frog opponent by 0.27 to nab the five points.  Her butterfly win was more of a victory lap, as she won the race by more than 4.5 seconds.

Oh Danny girl, first place, first place is calling.

(Sheridan "Danny" Phalen gets back to her Irish roots!)

SOTWs are chosen solely at the discretion of the editor.  Bribes are welcome.  They will be opened, drunk, but still have no impact on those decisions, so save your money.  No swimmer/relay/age group can win it twice in the same season.
