54 TVSC swimmers, their families, and coaches Mark, Chris, Peter, Rita, Mike, Jason and Danny traveled to the Holiday Classis at the aquatic center of the Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. 

(We believe) this is the 25th year TVSC competed, starting in 1997.  Due to the pandemic the Holiday Classic in 2020 was canceled and the 2021 Holiday Classis was held at a different pool.  

At this year's Holiday Classic, our swimmers raced 402 times and swam 249 best times -- 62%. Total time improvement 448 seconds, or more than 7 minutes. New time standards: 9 'AAAA' times, 21 'AAA' times, 43 'AA' times, and 22 'A' times. New qualification times: 8 NCSA cuts, 10 Sectional cuts, 17 Senior Mets cuts, 17 Eastern Zone Age Group Champs cuts, and 24 Age Group Champs cuts.  89 new All-Time Top-25 times!

 

More Highlights

The TVSC boy finished in 4th place with 1041.5 points (without one relay DQ the boys would have been second) and the TVSC girls finished in 4th place with 896 points.
