Bennett Cup Meet
2015 Bennett Cup was pretty generous for B group swimmers. Generous in solid swims and lots of experience.
We started Saturday finals with some great 4 x 50 IM relays. Our 12-13 boys (Dylan Kormendy, Tom Chapman, Jacob Rambo and Anthony Gutierrez) placed second, although they had to race the clock in the first heat. We won 14-15 girls category (Lily Chen, Emma Carter, Jessica Luo, Allison Ballantyne) and placed 3rd in girls 16 & over (Anna Letkeman, Haley Bennett, Erin Lawrance, Rachel Sawchuk).
Individual session started with Lauren Crisp winning her 100 back in 14-15 girls category - 1:02.97. Sophie Tarrant placed 2nd in 100 breast with a good time 1:13.02 beating her previous best time by 2 seconds.
Some good results in 200 free: Allison Ballantyne placed second with 2:09.03 followed by Lauren Crisp 2:09.53 (girls 14-15). In girls 16 & over Erin Lawrence was fourth with a PB in 2:05.20
200 fly was an event definitely worth watching. Jessica Luo won her 12-13 final with 2:21.53 showing great skill. On the boys side Justin Howe went 2:09.45 - his new personal best after an awesome and strong swim.
On the longest distance of the day (and the meet) 1500 free Matt Fuller smashed his personal best by 38 seconds. He placed fourth with 16:07.25. Not bad for the beginning of a season!
