Harvest Moon - Best Times

Written by Coach Gunther

BEST TIMES

The Harvest Moon was held on October 10th - 11th in Herndon. The FISH had a very strong showing by the fifty five, 12 and under FISH that participated.  Swimmers swam in either the Full Moon (longer events) or Half Moon (shorter events). Times from their 6 events were added up, with the top three swimmers being awarded special prizes. 

In the Full Moon and Half Moon competition:

Grace Tierney was awarded 3rd place among 9 year old girls. Isabella Rongione and Michelle Owens finished 1st and 2nd in the 10 year old girls competition.  Chris Murphy took 2nd place in the 12 year old boys  division.  Emily Meilus took 1st place in the 10 year old girls half moon.

In their individual events many swimmers posted huge improvements.  Twenty Two FISH swimmers reported double digit improvements!  19 others dropped over 5 second in an individual event! Megan McCreary led the girls by dropping 45 seconds in her 100 Butterfly, and Alex Lim was the boys leader with a 41 second improvement in the 200 freestyle!

12 FISH swam an individual race for the first time at the Meet.  Fiona Muir, Grace Gent, Ben Sharrer and Anna Weidman achieved BB times in several "first swim" events.
