CONGRATULATIONS TO THE FOLLOWING 58 NBAC DISCOVERY/IMAGINATION SWIMMERS THAT ARE LISTED ON THE LATEST MARYLAND SWIMMING TOP 10 LIST FOR THE 2013-2014 SCY SEASON (Overall (Including the Challenge/High Performance Swimmers NBAC had 106 swimmers make the list) (A number of swimmers have made the list in two different age groups) (See the Full List on the Maryland Swimming Website Update to be posted on January 7, 2014) Brooke Shinnick Yazabel DeGuzman Mia Mesceda Anna Kwon Caroline Benda Elizabeth Ramoy Minna Hudhud Caroline Zhu Kacey McKenna Danielle McNerney Samantha Ai Gaby Jantac Allison Tomsuden Greta Peacock Lauren Waire Kelly Fields Alexa Porter Priscilla Velez Isabella Hwang Elizabeth Fry Lauren Poole Sophia Schulze Lillian Lowenthal Marietta Gately Susie Cadigan Tess Becket Anna Mason Reese Miller Kellie Malaney Grace Potis Sydney Conboy Darah Schillinger Nina Kolodgie Lucy Ozonoff Caitlin Roche Brooke Ruffin Alex Lakatta Cameron Shinnick Christopher Tomsuden Evan Arsenault Luke Jantac Liam Schindler TJ Matteini Liam Arsenault Marshall Fry Sage Sasaki Owen Schulze Nicholas Gordon Paul Rudie Drew Conboy Ian Anderson Andrew Sullivan Will Hoogenboom Tommy Hurley Ryan Atwood Mateo Ortiz Nicholas Poulos Lance Rombro MEETS The coaching staff does all meet entries for ALL swimmers and meets. The coaches will select the best meets for the swimmers as well as the events each swimmer will be entered in. It is assumed that all swimmers will attend all meets in which the coaching staff selects for each swimmer. It is up to each swimmer/parent to send an email to their coach as well as Tom and notify them if you are unable to attend a meet. This must be done no later than 4 weeks prior to the date of the meet. The meets are an important part of the equation to developing each swimmer to the best of their abilities. Please make every effort to attend each meet you are selected to attend. The schedule for the 2013-2014 Short & Long Course Seasons is included in this weekly report. It is very accurate right now but is subject to change if we feel it is in the best interest of the swimmers involved. If and when there are any changes, you will be notified via the weekly report. Once entries have been submitted to the Host club (Usually about 3 weeks before the meet) we generally cannot make changes and you are obligated for the entry fees. If you find you cannot make one of the days and/or have to leave early, get sick, etc., you are still obligated for the entry fees but there is no penalty for any of those issues (such as scratching your events on Saturday, you would still be allowed on Sunday). As always if you have any questions, send Tom an email (coachtom@comcast.net).
