Otters victorious

Last Thursday the Orange Otters once again came away the victors over the Fauquier Swim Club Frogs and clinched the Tri-County League Championship.
The Otters out-swam the Frogs by 50 points in the last regular season meet of the summer. Most impressive was the 93 of 101 swimmers who swam at least one best time.  Whether they had won or lost, that kind of improvement would have made the meet a great success.
Four meet records were set with Justin Barden's three new records, lowering his own butterfly record from 25.23 to 24.94 and his own 100 freestyle record from 51.53 to 51.10.  He also set the 15-18 boys 100 IM of 57.71. John Marquis broke Barden's 13-14 50 breaststroke record, lowering it from 32.28 to 32.16.
