The final point total was the highest amassed by any team in the Championship meet in the history of the JRAC (you guys exceeded your last year's total by 11.5 points). The outstanding team effort was a result of all of your incredible individual swims. At the meet we recorded an unprecedented 208 new best times as well as 169 improved a category swims.
We also had two league records set at the Championship meet. Jordan Arencibia broke his own Intermediate Boys 100 meter breaststroke record. And the Medley Relay Team of Lauren Hyslop (back), Stuart Ferguson (breast), Jordan Arencibia (fly), and Anna Wilson (free), broke the Intermediate 200 meter mixed medley relay record set early this year by Burkwood.
We had several swimmers achieve triple and quadruple
winner status!
A special congratulations goes to the following swimmers
for these performances.
QUADRUPLE WINNERS
Michael Howard, Jordan Arencibia
TRIPLE WINNERS
Miranda Byles, Adam Mallory, Livvy Call, Nathan Swift,
Lee Morck
While both our quad winners swim year round, its interesting to note that none of our triple winners had serious winter swimming experience. Their hard work throughout the 10 week summer season truly paid off! In addition to our triple and quad winners, we had several others who won one or two individual gold medals.

Wow that is one long list of great swims! But even
more important than these achievements in the pool was the fact
that SOUTHAMPTON was the recipient of the SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD this year
which is voted on by all the teams in our division. While we had an incredible
season, you swimmers never failed to show respect to our competition and
win and
lose with grace. Our wonderful parents as well were
always willing to help out at meets whenever needed. I have to say
at Champs that wherever I turned I always seemed to find an SRA parent
busy at work, volunteering to make the meet run as smoothly as possible.
Everyone, parents and swimmers included, should feel honored to have
earned this award.
From the Pep Rally to Champs and the Banquet the past
week has been a great way to finish off what was an excellent
summer swim season! I'm already missing seeing all of you at the
pool everyday and will continue to miss you guys while I'm back at
school this year. All of the coaches would love to hear from you
so
PLEASE KEEP IN TOUCH AND LET US KNOW HOW THINGS ARE
GOING!!!
Thanks again everyone for a great season! I could not have asked for a better way to spend my summer and am so thankful to have been accepted into the SRA family this year!
STRENGTH AND HONOR STAY TOGETHER... AS ONE!
