CSP Competes in Two Meets Fourth of July Weekend
We had two swim meets the Fourth of July weekend and had many coaches going many different directions. Our group that we took to the meet held at Notre Dame did an outstanding job. It was so nice being at an indoor facility on the campus of Notre Dame. Lots of fast swimming by CSP was done at this meet. In fact, CSP took about 45 swimmers to the meet and came out on top! We had a number of athletes placing in the Top 3 and winning their age group High Points as well. Also at the meet we had discovered that Graham Zucker (Age Group) had broken our team’s 8 & Under 50 Back Stroke Record a couple of meets ago. Way to go Graham!
