CBST’s 2011 Summer Accomplishments

        This past summer was one of the most accomplished seasons in CBST history.  We finished in the top 5 of both major Mid-Atlantic meets (JO’s & MA Senior Champs) with numerous top times attained by many of our swimmers.  We also had a record high in swimmers attaining the time standards to swim in both MA meets and had the largest team at the MA Senior Champs with 45 athletes in the meet.  At JO’s in the future I will continue to push for more swimmers choose to swim at the MA championship meet over their summer clubs, but we still had a great number of swimmers participate this summer.  We had our 14&under boys set two new JO records in the 800 & 400 Free relays (Jake Goroshko, JP Venneri, Brian Ross & Greg Brocato), and we also had two individuals set meet records, Hannah Zurmuhl in the 100 back and Greg Brocato in the 50 & 100 free.

          We had participants at both USA Swimming’s Senior National and Junior National meets in Palo Alto, CA at Stanford University.  Megan Lafferty earned her Olympic Trial qualifying times in the 50 Free and 100 Butterfly at Senior Nationals.  David Speese earned his Olympic Trials time in the 200 Breaststroke, while also finishing 6^th overall.  The other participants at the Junior National meet from CBST where Riley Weber, Kevin Magee, Kyle Magee, Chris Szekely, Melissa Ross, Mike McBryan, Evan Holder, and Time Ware.
