USA MINI CHAMPS
Although the skies were gray and rainy, PFY’s 8 & U team truly shined at the 2009 USA Mini Championship meet March 28-29 at the GCIT pool in Sewell, NJ. Five of the team’s Mini Champs competed in 32 races over the course of 2 days to earn Pocono the 19th over all spot out of 35 teams with a total score of 60 points. The boys' team 11th place finish was an added bonus seeing as this year‘s Mini Champs marked the final appearance at this meet for 3 of the 4 PFY boys who competed. PFY swimmers brought home 20 personal best times, 5 top three finishes, 9 top sixteen finishes, 4 heat winners and one new team record.
