Freestyle Frenzy in Westport Connecticut Meet results Individual results Pictures from Saturday morning session by Sian's dad (pw: tvsc) Fifty-eight swimmers and their families ventured off the Island to Westport (Martha Steward county) in Connecticut by Port Jeff ferry or by driving around for the annual Westport-YMCA Freestyle Frenzy. Several families even stayed in a hotel in the Westport area on Friday or Saturday night to avoid getting up early to travel to meet. For most "veteran" swimmers and their parents this has become one of their favorite meets of the season. For many TVSC 11-&-Overs it is their first time swimming the 500 free and they are all "scared to death". . . , but no first timers died, or did not finish. They all made it and found it was not as bad as they thought. Some highlights Of 206 races, 114 (60%) were personal best (PBs) times. All best times by: Christine Occhiogrosso, David Hoffman, Destiny Marino, Dylan Ludecker, Elijah Sanders, Elisabeth Sundberg, Evan Nilsson, John Gavigan, Kate Stansbury, Kim Buffone, Kristen Pozmanter, Michael Carlin, Morganlee McGrath, Sarah Catterson, Sarah Chan and Sian Grosskopf. First time 500 swimmers: Cathy Wang, Jessica Vairo, Alexa Stanco, Elijah Sanders, Devin Jackson, Michael Carlin and Noah Campanella. Ryan Gao continued his great start of the 2008-2009 short course season by winning all his events and swimming PBs in 200 and 500 free. As all TVSC swimmers have not swam the 500 free yet this season, the time drops were large: Joanna Stampelos -47.9, Mary Fleckenstein -41.1, Zach Gavigan -38.8, Isabella Sanders -37.1, Sarah Catterson -36.2, Zach Gavigan -38.8, Kristen Pozmanter -23.3, Christine Occhiogrosso -18.9, Sam Torrico -17.7 sec, Kaleigh Aiello -15.4, Kate Stansbury -15.1, Ryan Gao, -14.9, Zach Kaplan -13.7 and Evan Purdy -11.7. New 'A+' times: Kate Stansbury 'AA' in 500 free; Ryan Gao 'AA' in 500 free; Alanna Carey 'AA' in 200 free; Sam Torrico 'AA' in 200 free; Rachael Bertini 'AA' in 200 free; Kim Buffone 'A' in 100 free; Rita Chen 'A' in 200 free; Kristen Pozmanter 'A' in 200 & 500 free; Evan Purdy 'A' in 500 free; Luis Romero 'A' time in 500 free; John Yin 'A' in 200 free; No new Trident qualifiers but many qualifiers bettered their Trident entry times or got their short course yard cuts in events they had their short or long course meter cuts. The following swimmers added Trident cuts: John Yin 50 & 200 Free; Evan Nilsson 50 & 100 free; Dylan Ludecker 50 & 100 free; Brittany Coughlin 200 free. The updated Trident entries, with new events and updated times from the meets last weekend, were emailed and accepted. The Trident meet is now full and most likely future meet entry updates will not be accepted. Sixty-two Three Village swimmers competed at the Sachem Swim Club Fall meet at Sachem North HS pool (with the flooding pool deck) this past weekend and 101 (57%) of the 176 races resulted in life time bests. Nice job! Sixteen swimmers swam all best times: Adam Kalinousky, Alec Huner, Amanda Buehler, Bethany Ostrander, Charles Shemet, Christina Sourlis, Christopher Stange, Emily Bardak, Erin Burke, Karen Li, Lauren Wagner, Luka Zuric, Matthew Brennan, Nicole Chin, Piper Heide and Sarah Safranek. In her last meet as a 12-year old, Liz Connolly won the 100 back in 1:11.33, a 'AA' time and was second in 100 free and 3rd in 50 fly. Silver medal for Alec Huner in 25 free. Bronze for: Emily Bardak 25 back; Dylan Champagne 25 free & 25 breast; Alec Huner 25 back & 25 fly. Erin Burke, Nicole Chin and Karen Li swam their first Trident cuts in 50 back.

Marlins 1,650 Meet in Mount Kisco Hard Work Pays Off Kate Conard Breaks Team Records in 1,000 and 1,650 Free Meet results Individual results TVSC Athletes competed in five different meets this weekend. The HS girls had their Team Championships (Leagues) on Friday, a group of TVSC swimers competed at the Sachem Fall meet, another group of swimmers competed in Connecticut at the Freestyle Frenzy, Tom Luchsinger and Joey Selinger competed in the NYC Open on Sunday and 12 distance swimmers competed at the Marlins 1,650 meet in Mount Kisco. Graduation Senior, Kate Conard, was a latecomer to the sport and has been swimming for only 4 1/2 years. She started on the accelerated Dolphin team group for "latecomers-to-swimming" in the summer of 2004 at the "old age" of 13 . After a two months in Novice A in the 2004-2005 season, she moved to the Junior team in November and one year later she was promoted to the Senior team. In 2004-2005 season she qualified only for Age Group Champs. However, with simple good old-fashioned hard work and never missing a practice, Kate moved up in the rankings and yesterday broke two TVSC Team Records in the same race -- 1,000 and 1,650 free for 17-18 girls. Kate won the 1,650 for the girls in 17:26.63, a personal best by 18 seconds and a Sectional cut. Both the 1,000 and 1,650 were also 15-18 girls BGNBW Marlins pool records. We did not realize that Kate already broke the 1,000 team record two weeks ago at the the Chappy's meet, but she bettered it again yesterday by 1 1/2 seconds in her 1,000 split of the 1,650. She improved the 1,650 team record, held by 2006 TVSC Alumni Kandra Kane, by 10 seconds. Congratulations Kate! In full training (unrested) the following swimmers swam also best times in the mile: Claudia Coccaro -7 sec, Jaclyn Ouzounian -30 sec, Matt Dutton -3 sec, Mark Quintana -124 sec, Dan Zhang -80 sec and Bryan Mullaney -31 sec. Valerie Zeffiro swam the mile for the first time and broke the 20 minute barier on the first try: 19:57.

College Swimming 101 Do You Want To Swim In College? - Where Do You Start? Even for sophomore athletes in HS it is time to start looking at colleges. If you are a junior in HS and have not started, get going! If you are a senior in HS and have not started . . . There are about 390 men's and 490 women's college swim team teams in NCAA Div I, II and III and more non-NCAA affiliated programs for just about every level swimmer. Every year college coaches need to recruit up to 10 new swimmers for their team and this is a lot of work. If you are a swimmer at the level of Tom Luchsinger, the college coaches will contact you, starting July 1st before your senior year. However, if you are not at that level, you need to do your own homework, find colleges matching you academic interests and athletic skills and "sell yourself" to the coaches of these college swim programs, starting as early as your sophomore year. For the HS States and Sectional level swimmers, it becomes very important how you perform at the big meets as a sophomore and junior in high school, as this may put you on the "radar screen" of a college coach. College coaches from northeast will attend the HS State meets, the big Holiday Classic meets, Sectionals and other big local meets to look for future recruits. Here is a concise article in USA-Swimming web site about the recruiting process throughout high school. For HS juniors and their parents: if there is interest in learning more about the college recruiting process contact Coach Peter.
