Easy Way Out: Time Trials and Waynewood B Meet and What to Watch For in 2018

Okay, okay, okay. I know we're a little behind schedule here at the Gator Blog. While normally I'd do a complete write-up on each event, I'm gonna drop a summary on you here and just shotgun the results of these first two developmental events.

Summary: The Gators are fast, the Gator team is deep, and the Gators are primed for an awesome season. Lots of Gators cut lots of time at time trials, and then did some more against Waynewood. On an individual basis, Donovan Kovalsky is really, really fast and swam under the 11-12 year old team records in 4 events at time trials... then added an unofficial record time in the remaining individual event (Backstroke) at the Waynewood B meet. In what is sure to be a recurring theme this season, Donovan swam really fast and busted some records. Get used to seeing his name all over the Gator record board.

Okay, to be fair we may not actually rename the record book in Donovan's honor. Two other current (or recently departed) Gator swimmers have also shown similar domination on the record books. Cassidy Bayer owns 4 out of 5 records in most of the lower age groups and owns the best time in all 5 individual events for 15-18 year olds. And Kevin Adams-Mardi owns 4 out of 5 records for the 15-18 year old boys. Just saying, that's some pretty stellar company Donovan is joining there. It's going to be fun to watch this season.

I know this is a short summary for two meets. I promise future meet summaries will be back up to snuff, but the first A meet of the season starts in about an hour and I'm running late, so I need my coffee and then its off to the pool!

Go Gators!
