Gold Invite @ Cumming Aquatic Center – 10/16-18
Given their hard training to start the season I'll be surprised if they are able to improve on a bunch of their tapered time from last year...but...
Bailey
# 1 : G Open 200 Medley (2:26.54Y ) – if her breaststroke has improved she could drop some here
# 3 : G Open 50 Free (27.86Y ) – interested in this one…hoping to see some improved times in an event that has been pretty flat for her for over a year. An improvement here might be an indication of a good season.
# 7 : G Open 500 Free (5:49.07Y ) – she should improve here, just because she’s older, stronger, and she hardly every swims this race
# 41 : G 13-14 200 Free (2:11.27Y ) – sort of a cross between the 50 and 500..
# 47 : G 13-14 100 Back (1:06.84Y ) – need to start seeing some improvement in this one too…was good in this early last year, but plateaued at the end of the season and through long course. I expect more of the same this weekend.
# 53 : G 13-14 200 Breast (2:59.09Y ) – says she’s doing much better in this stroke, so fingers crossed.
# 59 : G 13-14 100 Fly (1:02.07Y ) – could she challenge 60 seconds already…don’t think so but 1 minute high is possible
# 95 (d3/s5): G 13-14 200 Fly (2:17.54Y ) - I believe her fly has improved, but I also believe this strenuous event, late on the schedule, with hard training will lead to a tired swim and a time very similar to the seed.
# 107 : G 13-14 100 Breast (1:25.03Y ) – see 200 Breast
# 113 : G 13-14 100 Free (1:00.50Y ) – another key event…but this time I suspect if there is a drop it will be small
Bear
# 2 : B Open 200 Medley (2:18.97Y ) – says breast times in practice are much improved, if so, he could drop a decent amount.
# 4 : B Open 50 Free (27.18Y ) – he went 26es in Summer League - maybe he can do that this weekend
# 8 : B Open 500 Free (5:14.54Y ) – I expect he’ll push to get below 5:10...don't know if his body is rested enough to do that yet this season
# 42 : B 13-14 200 Free (2:00.78Y ) – wants to break 2 minute 200…
# 48 : B 13-14 100 Back (1:08.78Y ) – need to start dropping time in this one - but I don't expect it yet
# 54 : B 13-14 200 Breast (2:56.50Y ) – this will be an interesting race based on times reported from practice…
# 60 : B 13-14 100 Fly (1:04.00Y ) – haven’t heard much about his fly…so no idea what to expect
# 96 : B 13-14 200 Fly (2:14.08Y ) – he’ll grind for sure, but again, can’t guess on a time
# 102 : B 13-14 200 Back (2:20.89Y ) – see 100 back
# 108 : B 13-14 100 Breast (1:23.97Y ) – see 200 breast
# 114 : B 13-14 100 Free (56.56Y ) – he’s hoping to outswim some of his teammates (Griffen, Jack, Nicklas)…to do so, he’ll need to be 55 low at least. I’m thinking fatigue on last swim of last day will prevent that.
Brett
# 2 : B Open 200 Medley (2:30.12Y ) – based on how he finished last year, if he’ll limit his breathing in the fly leg, he’ll drop some time
# 4 : B Open 50 Free (28.34Y ) – could get in the 27s
# 8 : B Open 500 Free (5:51.48Y ) – should swim this much better…not sure what to guess, but his stroke is much improved especially for distance swims
# 44 : B Open 200 Free (2:08.68Y ) – again, with improved stroke could see a drop…just not sure how much
# 50 : B Open 100 Back (1:11.44Y ) – steady improvement on this one through the last few seasons …if he’ll just add more effort he’ll drop again
# 56 : B Open 200 Breast (2:37.34Y ) – thinks he’s figured out some of his issues in this stroke over the last year and a half. Hope he’s right, he really needs a good breast swim to get his confidence back up
# 62 : B Open 100 Fly (1:18.17Y ) – should drop…and could drop a bunch if he limits his breathing...will probably have a good idea how much after watching the 200 IM Friday night
# 100 : B Open 200 Back (2:28.59Y ) – the longer he swims back the more his deliberate stroke seems to work…so I’m not sure he’ll drop a bunch here as he's performed better in this one in the past.
# 106 : B Open 100 Breast (1:14.17Y ) – see 200 breast. Would like to see him around 1:12 for high school as that is the varsity letter time required.
# 112 : B Open 100 Free (1:00.09Y ) – Come'on Sub60
