Some stats from Cupid's Classic

First things first, not one bit of Valentine's branding for a meet called Cupid's Classic.  I was expecting some hearts here and there, possibly a baby with a crossbow or something.  But, nope, nothing Valentiney at all.  But the name wasn't *all* wrong, it was a classic swim meet.

This was the first meet of the session, so you would expect some new personal best times.  The kids hadn't swam in a meet since November (except for one swimmer who keeps going to "rogue" meets) so they had a lot of practice time under their caps to take advantage of.  But I did not expect *this* many personal bests.  26 swimmers swam 175 races with 108 personal bests (and 16 first time swims).  For repeat swims, that is 68% personal bests.  Wow.

There were 31 new B times (this is important with the Zone 2 Championships coming up in two weeks) and 15 new A times.  Oh, and one new JO that got lost to a DQ.

Phoebe, Liana and Caitlin all had "perfect meets", swimming a personal best in every single race they entered.  If Montclair keeps up this pace, we're going to need a bigger record book!
