Mountain View Masters Results
2009 Tamalpais Aquatic Masters Jon Steiner Memorial Postal Mile
52 swimmers participated. That is a Team Record for participation in an athletic event. We’ve hit 43 a couple of times, including USMS Short Course Nationals in Santa Clara in 1999, and again at FINA World Masters Championships at Stanford in 2006. Our biggest turnout at a 2x1 Mile Relay was 38 in 2007. MVM is always one of the largest teams to compete in this event. Since the performance window runs from mid December through the end of February, if we haven’t submitted any entries by the beginning of February, I start getting email from these guys, wondering where MVM’s entries are. I think the biggest number of entries we’ve ever submitted in this event is 24. We sure got ‘em good this time!
If you take a look at the names, there were many people who did this event for the first time. I hope that they now have the confidence to do something like this again. The other thing that struck me was how close some of these races were. Look at some of the time differences, irrespective of the age groups. This year was a little disorganized with respect to putting the swimmers into heats, just based on the sheer volume of swimmers participating. Things are a lot more interesting, and people push themselves harder when they have someone pacing along right beside them. We’ll see what we can do about that next year. Certainly, 52 of us have seed times now.
There were four New Team Records in the 1650 yard Freestyle--Laurin Weisenthal in the W25-29 age group, Maria Klein in the W50-54, Griff Freeman in the M50-54 and Paul Lockwood in the M55-59. In addition, Diane Renshaw swam the 1500 meter Free at The National University of Ireland in Galway Ireland, and her time is a New Team Record in the W60-64 Short Course 1500m Free.
Way to go, Team MVM!
