DSC_0063.JPG    Gwinnett Aquatics' Senior swimmers had their highest finish in three years at the Sr State Champs last weekend, thanks in part to some help from alum Andrew Ruffing. Even without Ruffing's three top-8 swims (including a win in the 100 fly), the team had a great showing to earn 11th at the meet at Georgia Tech. Brandon Leavenworth scored in four events including a fifth in the 800. Kailee Springer and Elizabeth Garreau added two more each and they also both picked up their first AAA (All-star) times this season. It was Garreau's first AAA ever. Anna Tait got her first AA while Leavenworth and Mark Atuan had 100% best times.

Please note that this is the last newsletter of the season.  The next newsletter will be August 10 and will go to swimmers registered for the 2010-11 season.  If you plan to return and have not yet registered please do so this week. 

Recap

     Now that the last meet is over, I have had the chance to run some of the end of season lists.  This season, even more then those past, it was clear which swimmers took advantage of the extra training opportunities and really stepped it up.  Senior and Gold had the best attendance and as a result had the biggest improvement.  And the Prep swimmers who earned attendance awards had some of the biggest achievements of all,, three earining their first ever AAAs!.  Overall we had 10 swimmers achieve AAA or higher and over a third of the team achieved an A time or higher.

PLEASE register this week if you plan on returning or email Hugh if you are not.  We are using a new on-line registration that allows you to pay it, as well as monthly fees, online.    Registration has increased to $115 to cover the extra cost of the new system as well as higher USAS dues, but monthly fees will again stay the same.
