Hello Everyone,
NSSC concluded the summer season with great swimming at the New England Open
Championships hosted by NSSC at MIT! NSSC swimmers had an outstanding
showing, finishing 11th as a team out of 47. Incredible
performances were on display by Matt O'Brien (2nd -200 fly, 2:13.19) Annie
Linland (winner of the C final, 100 back- 1:09.96), Craig Lewin (sectional
qualifier 200 fly- 2:19.51), Emily Rookwood ( 100 backstroke- 1:12.24, 22nd
overall as a 14 year old) Caroline Caliri, (100 freestyle (1:04.28) Amy
O'Brien ( winner of the 13-14 100 Butterfly-1:08.48), Caitlin Brewer ( 100%
best times and leadership expected of the eldest female swimmer-
impressive!, 1:12.74 100 backstroke), Kathleen "Chubby" Grueter (100
breaststroke -1:24.20), Jeff "Muffin" Fiore (7 of 8 best times and huge
relays swims! 2:32.74 200 backstroke), Jonathan Richman (1:10.38 100
backstroke), Lee and Stephen Chaing, who traveled home from China. Both boys
had impressive 50 freestyle and helped our men's relays! Every NSSC swimmer
posted best times this weekend!
The meet had over 500 of the fastest swimmers in New England, including
Olympic trials finalist, National qualifiers, Division 1-3 college swimmers.
This was one of the fastest meets our swimmers have seen, with New England
records being broken and many swimmers qualifying for the US Open, and
nationals! NSSC parents were incredible hosts and visiting teams were
impressed with the fluid and efficient running of the meet. This was the
second consecutive weekend of high caliber swimming that NSSC hosted! You
have given the swimmers the best chance available to succeed, as coaches, we
cannot ask for more! Great weekend, Great Season! Great Club!
