Group News & Announcements
January 20, 2012
Way to Go @ Winterfest!!!
Eighteen swimmers from the Gold Select group raced at the Winterfest Regional Meet last weekend and showed that they are really turning the corner with their training and racing for the season. Having endured much over the past few weeks, the swimmers still were able to accomplish 80% (76/95) swims at or better than lifetime bests!
A special congratulations to those making it back to Finals:
Melissa Manuelli
Jon Burkett
JD Schurer
Chris Cook
Dragan Vujovic
Brendan Finnegan
And to the following first place relay members:
Renee Russo in the 13 & 14 Girls 400 Free Relay
Dragan Vujovic, JD Schurer, and Jon Burkett in the 13 & 14 Boys 200 Medley Relay
The coaches were very happy with the swimmer’s approach and excitement toward races at this meet, and the work is really starting to pay off. We are now entering the home stretch for the season as swimmers are setting their sights on important High School meets, Y Silvers, and Y States! Keep going for greatness!

The Gold Select group swimmers accounted for a strong portion of the 1st place overall team finish at the NJ State Meet at GCIT. Swimmers from the group achieved best times at a rate of 2 out of every 3 events overall (67% performance rate). These include highlight performances from Renee Russo, Jon Burkett, Colin McBride, and Will & Jack Freeman, to name a few. The trio of McBride, Freeman, and Freeman accounted for best times in each of their personal 9 indiv. swims on the weekend! Renee Russo and Jon Burkett both earned high point honors by placing among the top spots within their age group at the meet. Congratulations! Gold Select now has 20 Qualifiers for the Maryland Winterfest Regional meet next month and will continue on to make a strong push for NJ YMCA STATE MEET and other Championship Meet Qualifications during the 2nd half of the year! Great job swimmers!
