2010 LC Junior Olympic Highlights

 
 

Congratulations to all of our Junior Olympic swimmers for a great meet this weekend ! 

 

The Marlins are very proud of how all the swimmers conducted themselves this weekend and of the support from the parents.  The great swimming and good sportsmanship showed why the Marlins are considered "The Best in the Midwest" 

 

And there was some great swimming this weekend.  We had too many noteworthy performances to mention them all.  Here are a few of the highlights.

 

The Boys 10&U 200M Medley Relay of Justin Grender, Tindar Cyr, Ben Hayes and Josh McDonald went 2:23.64 to break the State Meet and Ohio Records previously set in 1970 by the Cincinnati Pepsi Marlins relay of D.Smith, J.Frentos, J.Bradshaw, M.Harrington.  This was also the Marlins record.

 

The Boys 10&U 200M Freestyle Relay of Justin Grender, Nick Pfeifer, Josh McDonald and Ben Hayes went 2:07.07 to break the State Meet and Ohio Records of 2:11.35 (2007 Sycamore Flying Fish).  This also broke the 1980 Marlins record of 2:12.09 (Miller, Legeay, Tobergte, Lichtendahl)

 

Ben Hayes broke 2 individual Marlins records for 10&U Boys Long Course. 

 

His 33.62 in the 50 Fly beat the 33.73 set by Scott Tanner in 1995. 

 

His 100 Free time of 1:06.86 was just under the 1989 record of 1:06.89 held by Olympian Nate Dusing.
