All-Business for the All-Stars

Ok, it's All-Star time. Since the last update, we've added some firm entries to the Gator All-Star squad. Gabby Greszler has moved up and is now seeded and will swim the 15-18 Free. And Cole Miller is now an Alternate in both 15-18 Free and Fly.

That puts us at a firm entry total of 12 swimmers in 19 events, with a 13th swimmer possible for a 20th and maybe even 21st event. That's a historical high for MVP. We've had more individuals attend the meet in the past (15 different swimmers in 2013), but we have never had Gators swim in 19 events. The highest number of Gator swims was in that 2013 season when we raced in 18 different events. So, we're going to break that by at least one this year, and maybe two or three. Pretty impressive, eh? 

In fact, there were so many Gators at the pool familiarization Friday morning that we couldn't fit them all in the photo: 

Apparently, we need one of those real estate camera lenses to get
so many Gator All-Stars to all fit in one photo! 

If you are interested in watching any portion of the All-Stars, it will be streamed online by SwimNinja.com here: https://swimninja.com/2019/08/02/2019-nvsl-all-stars-livestream/

The schedule will follow these "No Earlier Than" times, meaning that even if the meet is going quickly, they will not start subsequent strokes earlier than the published times below. Each stroke will begin with the 8 & unders, then 9-10s, 11-12s, 13-14s, and then conclude with the 15-18s.

Ok, I was just kidding about not being able to fit all the Gators in the photo... I was able to back up a little and get the rest of them in there, even without the fish-eye lens. Yes, I said that this blog was going to be All-Business, but I had to get some levity in here. Here's the real photo.
