This past weekend 26 members of Solo Aquatics competed
at the 2009 MIT invitational hosted by the North Shore Swim
Club. This meet was host to 967 swimmers from 30
different teams. Swim clubs from all over New England,
New York, and as far away as Maryland, traveled to compete
in this prestigious event.
SOLO swimmers had an
amazing weekend!! Our club had a tremendous showing at
finals each night of the meet. Many of our swimmers
placed in the Top 10 in numerous events. SOLO swimmers
combined to achieve 26 new qualifying times for New England
Championship Meets later this season. There was also a
new qualifying time for the Speedo Champions Series
(Sectionals) to be held in Buffalo, NY in March. In
addition, there were TEN new Team Records set over
the course of the meet. Great Job SOLO!!!
