Eastern Zone Age Group Championship
Highlights

August 11-14, 2010
Rockville, MD

Submitted by CT Zone Team Coordinators

87 CT Zone Team swimmers competed in 530 plus splashes against 11 other Eastern Zone teams in the 2010 Eastern Zone Long Course Age Group Championship on August 11-14, 2010 in Rockville, MD.  This group of athletes proudly represented CT both on and off pool deck.  The team took on strife when the venue and schedule was changed due to a severe storm that resulted in a two-day power outage at the outdoor pool.  The team did very well and placed 7th out of 12 teams – Congratulations!

Connecticut Swimming would like to thank the Zone Coordinators, Randy LaRocca, Patrice Murad, and Tak Takabayashi for the untold number of hours these volunteers spent organizing the CSI Zone travel team. Because of these key volunteers our athletes are able to participate in the Eastern Zone Age Group Championship meets.
