The MacDolphins finished tied with Apex for the Southen League Division 5 title.  Both teams finished 4-2 overall and 2-1 in the division.

Results

The results are abbreviated due to weather ending the meet early.  Scores and place information have been entered and appear on the results.

Unfortunately we missed a few times last night due to a battery issue and a misunderstanding with one of the timers.  There is also a good chance that a few times may have been assigned to the wrong swimmer.  We had quite a few no-shows and while we make every effort to keep track of which swimmer is in which lane, the changes aren’t always documented.  If you see something which doesn’t make sense, contact Mike Walsh and we’ll see what we can do to straighten it out.

The MacDolphins had a great showing from the small number of swimmers who participated.  The MacDolphins finished 15th out of 25 teams scoring 252 points.  Congratulations to Ashling Murphy who won the 9-10 girls Breaststroke event and finished 2nd in the 9-10 individual points.

Results

The results are available in two formats.  The traditional MacDolphins results report and a overall CCM summary which has been annotated to highlight the MacDolphins results.

Thank you parents!

A special thank you to all of the MacDolphins parents from your Technical Team.  We only had 1 no-show last night so our heat sheet was very clean.  It took a little more than an hour to process the few deck changes and load the times from the timing system and points from the score sheet  and produce a results report.  Thanks to everyone who submitted your scratches early, it really helps a lot.
