Harvard SCY Champs 2014:
One of Great Bay's most successful performances at a regional meet in recent memory! For the first time in 4 years GBM pushed past Bearcat Masters for a stellar (and well earned!) 2nd place finish!
What was it that led to our success? We know Coach Crystie always gives us an edge. Her incredible dedication to preparing us for this event was, as it always it, second to none. We are a very lucky team indeed!
But there's more to this story. I think the 45 swimmers who were at Harvard will agree, there was something special happening in the pool and on the deck this year. So was it the record half dozen first timers braving their first big meet? The quiet return of a handful of veteran GBM'ers? The Fearless Foursome of 100+ Points Scorers? Or was it the epic Rainbow Cheetah suits? Now those were just plain awesome! There were so many accomplishments at this year's Regional SCY Championship meet it's hard to pinpoint what gave us the edge this year. So let's get right to the stats…
2014 - 2,614.5
2013 - 2,440
2012 - 2,318.5
2011 - 2,309.5
