It's (almost) a Wrap!

With the 2024 Division E Divisional Meet in the books, the 2024 season is near an end.  All that remains is the All-Star meet.  But before we talk about that, let's give some results from the Divisional Meet!

The NCR Dolphins entered the meet seeded third in the division and wrapped up the meet with a third place finish, racking up 198.5 points:

PGC: 348
LC: 313
NCR: 198.5
MC: 187
PR: 125.5

Complete meet results are available on the 2024 Meet Results page

Seeing Blue

Divisional meets often don't see individual swimmers competing in three events, but even so, there were five swimmers who not only competed in three individual events, but won all three.  Four of those swimmers were with the Laurel City Kingfish (An Bui, Allen Bui, Ari Jenkins, and Brayden Li). The fifth was our very own Dolphin, Gabriel Bailey! Congrats to all!

Good thing these aren't vinyl!

A crazy number of records were broken (or tied) at the divisional meet.   Twenty NCR Pool records (with the 25m Bulkhead), 13 NCR Team (bulkhead) Records, and even a couple PGC Team records.

In all 35 records were broken (well one was tied) at the meet!

NCR 2024 All-Stars

Back to talking All Stars...
Event winners at the Divisional Meet automatically qualify to attend the All Star meet next week.  The NCR representatives are:

Swimmer	Event(s)
Xavier Bailey	Boys 9-10 50m Freestyle
Gabriel Bailey	Boys 11-12 50m Breaststroke ​Boys 11-12 50m Backstroke Boys 11-12 100m Individual Medley

Simon Bailey	Boys 15-18 50m Breaststroke

But the story isn't over...
All Stars field 3 full heats of each event, and division winners only account for one of the three...so it is possible (given some of the times achieved, likely) that more NCR Dolphins will make the cut. Stay Tuned!

Phew! That was a lot...maybe I should have made two posts...
