Swimmers of the Meet - Charger Invite

Well, I could probably write all night about today. What a great meet. When you have a great meet, it is always tough to highlight just a few of the athletes. We started off the day with bang when Brian Tillis dropped 2 more seconds to claim the 200 freestyle title. This marked the first time that we had ever won an event at this meet. After watching that race, I told Ibrahim, "you know how it hurts when you're swimming really hard?....Yeah Brian doesn't have that."

Ibrahim Hambazaza then took advantage of the great competition to pull out a season best 22.93 in the 50 freestyle. He later set a lifetime best in the 100 freestyle and also had 2 season best relay splits.

Jake Querciagrossa showed that he is a contender. He set his 2nd school record in 2 swims in the 500 freestyle, and he claimed the title against stiff competition. The state meet better beware. His time of 4:49.04 is 12 seconds faster than he was last year at this meet.

Rounding out the swimmer of the meet honors was Frank Gray. Frank swam right at his season-bests all day, and added a tremondous 51 second leg to the championship 400 free relay. That relay is the 2nd fastest time in the school's history.
