FAST OCTOBER MEET LIVES UP TO NAME WITH 285 BEST TIMES & 25 NEW NAG TIMES

One hundred and five FAST athletes competed in the October Invite this past weekend at the Janet Evans Swim Complex. 

Despite the drizzle on Saturday, the early season meet was a great success with FAST swimmers compiling 44% improved times (42% for girls and 45% for boys).   A total of 285 improved times were recorded (136 for girls and 149 for boys).

FAST athletes also achieved 25 new 2021-2024 USA Swimming National Age Group Motivational Times (19 "A" times, 2 "AA" times, 4 "AAA").  NAG Times will be replacing the BRW times used for age group meets.  These times are derived from swimming results from nationwide for 9-10, 11-12, 13-14, 15-16, and 17-18 age groups.  They are updated every four years after each Olympic cycle.  As SCS age group athletes progress through the sport this will allow them to gauge their progress against swimmers from around the country.  Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with them.    

Our next home event will be November 19-20 (Friday will be a distance session and Saturday will feature Prelims/Finals competition). 

Thanks to all the parents who volunteered to help out before, during and after the event.  Your efforts are much appreciated by the staff and our guests!
