2008 PV JR LC Champ  10-Jul-08 to 13-Jul-08 LC Meters

Junior Champs was a fun end of the season meet for all who where there.  It was swam at the beautiful University of Maryland pool.  We had 43 best times out of 73 total swims giving us a 60% overall improvement and a drop in about 186 seconds which is more than 3 minutes in total improvement!  Consistent stroke and racing technique as well as hard work allowed for these improvements.  And of course, additional long course practices at Lake Newport were an added benefit to make everyone swim fast.

 

Ryan Williams swam to six best times at the meet while Christopher Negiz had the largest time drop of a little over 30 seconds which most of that was from dropping 29+ seconds in the 200 breast.

 

Great job to everyone!  You can see the best times below and see the full results at www.pvswim.org.
