This was a banner weekend for the Gators! 10 swimmers travelled to Cary for North Carolina Senior Champs and brought home 1st place in the Small Team Division!! This is the fastest meet in North Carolina and brings the fastest swimmers from across the entire state to compete together. It is consistently recognized as one of the fastest Sr Meets in the Nation.
This is a historic outcome for the Gators, we have not had a top placement since the 90s and have never won a division at Sr Champs since the implementation of that system.
This was a team effort in all ways, we could not have accomplished this without being a team. Our younger swimmers inspire our older ones to be leaders, our older swimmers give the younger ones goals to strive for. You all push each other in practice, support each other throughout the season, and give your coaches the opportunity to do the best job in the world. This was won by and for all Gators and we the Coaches are proud of each and every member of our team.
The Lady Gators fielded 3 relays and scored 13 points for the Gators. Abby Campbell, Lillian Robinson, Ila Turner and Alyssa Walker swam the 400 Fr, 200 Fr, and 400 Medley Relays (13th!). Ila scored in her individual swims as well! We absolutely could not have won our division without the outstanding efforts of these 4 Gators!!
Our Gentlemen fielded 5 relays and scored 99 points. Philip Johnson, Noah Legnosky, Dillon Miller, Nate Miller, Jack Morris and Noah Tabor competed in the 800 Fr (11th), 200 Medley (13th), 400 Fr, 200 Fr (14th), and 400 Medley Relays (9th). Philip scored in multiple of his individual events. The Gator Gentlemen stepped up and crushed their seed times in multiple relays to swim swiftly past the other teams in our division.
We are so proud to Coach all of you and so proud that you represented the Gators in such outstanding fashion.
