Things got a little crazy in March, with four different meets within driving distance of our LMSC! There was a lot of fast swimming; the results have been uploaded and the 18 new LMSC records set in March are shown in the table below.
- The Frank Clark Masters Open was held on Mar 3 in Greensboro, NC, in the same pool that will be used for USMS Spring Nationals. 15 members of our LMSC attended, representing VMST (11) and STON (4).
- The WAVA Dreaming of Spring Meet was held on Mar 4 in Warrenton, VA. 53 members of our LMSC, representing SUNF (10), VMST (23) and WAVA (12), attended the meet. Looks like everyone had a fun time, if the photos are any indication.
- The ANCM Albatross Open, a popular early SCM meet, was held Mar 17 in Bethesda, MD. 11 LMSC members attended, 3 unattached and 8 of them from VMST.
- Finally, the RCA Dive Into Spring Meet was held Mar 25 in Lexington, VA. The meet is growing: 69 people attended this year, 60 from our LMSC. Teams represented were QMST (1), RCA (13), STON (3), SUNF (1), and VMST (27).
As shown below, there was plenty of fast swimming at these meets, led by Shirley Loftus-Charley and Edward Gaulrapp. Great job, everybody! If you have any photos you would like to share, let me know.
