and Team Scores): (Events 1 through 12)
Almost every CY swimmer who dropped time also finished better than
the psych sheet’s prediction. Notably both the men’s and
women’s 200 Medley Relays are in the championship final and Steven
Zimmerman joined Alex Smit and Jim Barbiere in the top 8 for the final
in the 100 Backstroke. Carlo Biedenharn and Katelyn Ishee also
improved their psych sheet position to come back in the consolation final in
the 400 Freestyle and 50 Breaststroke, respectively.
At Finals, everyone either improved their place or at least improved on
their time from the preliminaries. The CY Men are in 3rd, the
Women in 14th, and Combined are in 5th place after the
first day of competition.

Another great day of swimming for CY. Alex Smit started his day
making the top seed for the finals in the 100 Butterfly with a new
team record and then bettered that
with his win at finals in 56.69. Later in the finals session Jim
Barbiere swam his personal best to improve
his team record in the
200 Freestyle and place 3rd. Katelyn Ishee and Breann
McDowell scored in their finals of the 200 Breaststroke and
200 Freestyle, respectively. The CY Men are still in
3rd, the Women have moved up to 12th, and Combined
are still in 5th place after the second day of
competition.

More great swims for our Torpedoes! Jim Barbiere and Steven
Zimmerman are the top two qualifiers for the final in the
200 Backstroke and Alex Smit is the top qualifier in the
50 Butterfly. Breann McDowell swims again tonight in the
100 Freestyle and Lynn Brotherton is back for the
50 Butterfly. Both the Men’s and Women’s
800 Freestyle Relays swim with Finals (the event is a
timed-final).
The finals continued the momentum from the morning preliminaries and the
team records started to fall. Steven swam faster than the team record in
the 200 Backstroke in a strong second-place finish, but
couldn’t claim the team record from Jim, the new national
champion. Lynn Brotherton swam an awesome 50 Fly to break a
long-standing team record and Alex Smit easily claimed the top spot on
the awards podium when he improved on the team record that he broke in
the prelims. That wasn’t enough for the team today–the
800 Freestyle Relay teams wanted more! First the girls exploded
with some LTB swims and slashed more than 2 seconds off the
record. The guys picked up where the girls left off and put some more
LTB swims in the water to shave a bit off a record of their own and a
4th-place finish.

- Friday (Full Results
and Team Scores): (Events 33-43, 22)
The 200 Freestyle Relays improved times a bit in finals, but
finished at the bottom of their heats. Aaron Lawson was at the top of
the consolation final in the 200 Butterfly and swam a terrific race
to finish with a time that would have been 5th place had he
been able to swim in the top final. Jim and Alex racked up more points
in the 50 Backstroke taking 1st and 5th
places. Katelyn Ishee took 2 more seconds off her 100 Breaststroke
time to move into 10th in the consolation final. Ethan
McNeil wiped 4 seconds off his best time when he swam a
1:11.32 in the men’s 100 Breaststroke, but he
dropped another second during his leg of an amazing
400 Medley Relay with Steven Zimmerman, Alex Smit, and Jim
Barbiere. Amazing is really not sufficient to describe this relay.
Steven’s time was his LTB by 0.18 from his finals performance on
Tuesday. Alex’s split was better than his new CY team record (set
Wednesday) and Jim’s anchor leg would be the team record as an
individual time. When the finals videos are posted
to Floswimming, everyone should watch this
one. (Yes, that includes those of you who already saw it in
person!)
