What a great day at the pool! NDA once again won the girls side and who else but CCH winning the boys side. Beechwood threatened CCH's domination in the beginning but CCH is way too deep. Beechwood is very young on both sides w/only one SR in each. Highlands finished second in girls.

 

Question for all you swimming experts: How, if a swimmer is winning in power pts at the end of the contest, not win "swimmer of the meet?" I realize the coaches also give their two cents but that is all it should be worth, two cents. A soph proved that she was the best today and the the recognition went to a SR. Granted, this SR is very good but she was not the best today, IMO. Coaches should not look at who they are voting for but how well each individual did on that given day. This was an injustice to the

4th region swimming world.

 

Way to go Ms Brandenberg, you were the best in everyone's eyes today, well, almost everyone!:thumb:

Who was the SOPH and who was the SR?

 

What are "power points?"

I don't know that much about swimming but my knowledge of this is the individual recieves so many pts according to time and maybe what place they finish, I am guessing on the finish. All I know is I saw these pts and the soph(Brandenberg) had 270 pts and the Sr(Dickman) had 258.

 

Bradenberg won both individual events she was entered in setting a pool/regional record in one of the them and anchored two relays that went 1/2. Dickman finished 1/2 in two individual events and 1/2 in relays. How the coaches felt that Claire had a better day than Krissie is beyond me.
