Sailfish Blitz Barco-Newton Marlins
The McArthur Family YMCA Sailfish, defending YMCA of Florida’s First Coast (YFFC) league champions, started their summer swimming season on a steamy Saturday, racking up a resounding victory over the Barco-Newton YMCA Fighting Marlins at home on June 12th.
Bringing 141 swimmers to the meet, the Sailfish overwhelmed the Marlins, taking first place in 39 individual events and setting fifteen new team records. Competing in the meet were 57 new Sailfish, including 49 who were participating in their first ever swim meet, like four-year-olds McKenna Hiebel and twins Aislynn and Duncan Bell.
Delivering first-place finishes in each of their three individual events were nine-year-old Evan Crayton, thirteen-year-old Jasmine Duke, and fifteen-year-old Kaylynn Chauncey. Bringing home two firsts each were six-year-old Declan Bell, ten-year-old Zoe Hall, eleven-year-olds Maisie Gooch and Jared Smith, and sixteen-year-olds Amber Wolfe and Cameron Harville. Earning one first-place finish each were Ryan Anderson (7), Drew Bowman (16), Christopher Grego (12), Christian Harville (16), Ella Johns (5), Lukas Johns (7), Brandon Lee (12), Zachary Lindborn (9), Maddie Millar (6), Christian Pierce (13), Vincent Sheppard (6), Zoe Stein (13), Jacob Taylor (12), Leighton Tomerlin (8), Haylie Wallace (9), Alex Warren (8), Katy Weaver (14), and Ciera Wilcox (9).
In addition to Crayton, Duke, and Chauncey, fifteen Sailfish placed in the top three in each of their individual events, including Bowman, Gooch, Christopher Grego, Gabriel Grego, Hall, Christian Harville, Cameron Harville, Lee, Millar, Smith, Stein, Rachel Taylor, Katy Weaver, Will Weaver, and Wilcox.
New Sailfish records were inked by Chauncey (50-yard freestyle, 100-yard backstroke, 100-yard breastroke), Duke (100-yard IM, 50-yard backstroke, 50-yard breastroke), Wolfe (50-yard butterfly, 100-yard IM), Wilcox (50-yard breaststroke), Hall (100-yard IM), Gooch (50-yard backstroke), Cameron Harville (100-yard IM), Katy Weaver (50-yard butterfly), and Pierce (50-yard breaststroke, 50-yard backstroke).
The “Whopper-Dropper” for the meet (designating the swimmer who drops the most cumulative time across events from previous personal bests) was seven-year-old Erica Teare, who registered an impressive and inspiring improvement of 83.38 seconds over the 2009 times for her three personal events.
This year is the largest yet for the Sailfish with over 170 registered swimmers ranging in age from four to eighteen. Next up is another home meet on Saturday, June 26th, pitting the Sailfish against the St. Augustine Rays and the Baker Bullets.
