Dear CSL Swimmers, Coaches, Volunteers, Families, and Officials,

Unfortunately, CSL reached the very difficult decision to cancel 2020 swim meets for COVID-19 related safety reasons. We fully understand the disappointment associated with canceling CSL 2020 summer swim meets.

Over the last 10 weeks, the CSL Executive Committee and Team Representatives met virtually numerous times to monitor the ongoing COVID-19 developments, gather safety information, and consider any potential 2020 season scenarios. We exhaustively garnered safety and other input from all stakeholders including federal, state, and local entities, as well as home owners associations, pool operators, coaches, clubs, officials, parents, and swimmers. We sincerely appreciate the constructive conversations and feedback. Again, we are profoundly sorry CSL can not offer meets this season. We look forward to the 2021 CSL season. Most importantly, please contact your individual CSL team officials regarding any 2020 swim team related activities.

 CSL does not have Officials Training scheduled for 2020 

 

What an exciting day in the sun.  Cascades hosted another outstanding meet where many close races were held.  Four league records were set today along with six triple winners.

Today's records were set by Sarah Shackelford (17), Burke Centre Stingers besting her year old time in Freestyle with a time of 26.39.  Chris Qian (12) of Broadlands, bested his own time set at divisionals last week in 11-12 Backstroke with a time of 30.38.  Payton Masten (10) of Cascades broke an 11 year old record in Breast with a time of 39.20, and Sunny Chen (10) of Cascades broke a 4 year old record in Fly with a time of 15.17.

Chris Qian (Back, Fly, IM) and Payton Masten (Back, Breast, IM) led off the triple winners and were joined by Matthew Char (10) of Ashburn Village (Free, Breast, IM), Nora Sherman (12) of Fort Myer (Back, Fly, IM), Mac Marsh (14) of Arlington Knights of Columbus (Free, Breast, Fly) and Lexie Morrison (8) of Burke Centre Penguins (Free, Back, Fly)

Congratulations to all for a great 2019 season!

Two league records fell at Divisionals, both at the White Division meet, both at the hands of 12-year old Broadlands standout, Chris Qian.  In 50M Back, Chris broke his own record time of 31.06, setting the new mark at 30.57.  And in 100 IM, he powered to a time of 1:07.66, nearly a second faster than the previous record of 1:08.58 which had stood for nine years.

Congratulations, Chris!

Update:  A single correction was made to the files for the Gold Division meet.  The  correction did not impact the All-star lists.  However, the Gold links just above now point to updated files, and the League Leaders and Results areas of this website also reflect this change.

The last A-meet of the season is always high with energy, anticipation, and nerves.  With a meet ending in a tie, I bet the pool at Armfield Farm was thundering as they battled it out with South Riding. Nothing like taking it down to the wire!

This week saw the top teams continuing their undefeated streak and locking down their division’s number one spot:
 

Red: Ashburn Village

White: ManorGate

Blue: Ashburn Farm

Gold: CountrySide

We had some speedy relays this week, with the Girls 15-18 200 Medley Relay record being broken by both teams in the same dual meet.  The previous record was 2:05.13, set by Ashburn Village last year.  The Burke Center Penguins team of Rachel Jones, Jeanne Seanor, Ashley Mayes,and  Alexandra Altenburg came in at 2:04.99.  However, Ashburn Village won the race with a 2:03.16, setting the new standing record.  Congratulations to the Ashburn Village ladies: Dana Korotovskikh, Lauren Long, Kayla Graham, and Jordan Wenner!

The gentlemen at Ashburn Village, not to be outshone, also set a new record in the Boys 5-18 200 Free Relay with a time of 1:52.91 - previously held by Burke Center Penguins in 2010 at 1:53.26.  Congratulations to Charlie Barker, Andrew Char, Matthew Char, and Justin Lee!!

And with that, the regular season is a wrap.  One more B-Meet as we head into our respective Divisional Meets!  Looking forward to fast swims, personal bests, and new team and CSL records!

Now over half way though our 2019 CSL season, there are 6 teams left undefeated: Ashburn Village (Red), Manorgate & Chinquapin (White), Ashburn Farm (Blue), Countryside & Saratoga (Gold). Both the White and Gold divisions will see who remains at the top after Week 4 head to head matchups.

Congratuations to Maya McCarney of the CountrySide Waves for her 16.62Y time in 8&Under Girls Fly Yards, besting the previous 2015 record, also held by a CountrySide, of 16.64Y.  Way to go Maya!

The Cascades Rapids Mixed 5-18 200 Medley Relay Team (aka the Mixed Mixed) of Mackenzie Speilman, Kyle Schlemmer, Owen Hendershot, and Sunny Chen sped their way to another record for their team by swimming a time of 2:11.86, which bests the previous record of 2:12.62 from Week 2 also by Cascades.  Congrats Mackenzie, Kyle, Owen, and Sunny!

We are only in the second week of bringing back the Mixed 5-18 200 Medley Relay (aka the Mixed Mixed), and the Cascades Rapids left no swimmer behind to break the 38 year old record that was previously held by Fort Belvoir (2:14.86).  Sydney Schlabach, Kyle Schlemmer, Owen Hendershot, and Sunny Chen swam a wicked fast time of 2:12.62 to give Cascades the first relay record broken in 2019.  Way to go Sydney, Kyle, Owen, and Sunny!

The 58th CSL season got off to an excellent start underneath perfect June skies!

It's no surprise that Jennifer Luong of South Riding would break a record whenever she visits the Old Town Alexandria pool. She swam the Girls 15-18 100Y IM in 1:00.20, besting the 2017 mark of 1:00.49. Congratulations Jennifer!

Great weather today... if you're a duck.

But happily, all four divisions completed their meets in a timely manner and the "made-it" lists have already been emailed to the team reps.

Another nicely run Relay Carnival.  Hats off to the folks at Sugarland Run.

Congratulations to the Burke Centre Penquins, Arlington Knights of Columbus, Chinquapin, and Saratoga, who brought home the four trophies this year.

With PVS LC meets scheduled for the same weekend as Relay Carnival many wondered how many if any league records would fall, they did but not as many as in the past.  There were three new league records set.  In each of the three events two teams broke the record.  The first record to fall was the Boys 11-12 200 yd Medley Relay both BCP and HV broke the record however, HV was faster than BCP, the new record holders from HV are Will Breslin, Vincent Nguyen, Ian Lee, and Tommy Lackey with a time of 1:59.53.  The BCP team of JT Schmid, Stephen Dalil, Christopher Goggins, and Josh Donavan swam a time of 2:01.37.  

The next record to fall was the Mixed 11-12 200 yd Free Relay, both AV and BCP broke the record however, AV was faster than BCP, the new record holders from AV are Andrew Char, Isabel Will, Zoe Rand, and Charlie Barker with a time of 1:48.12.  The BCP team of Ihn Altenburg, Caleigh Jones, Stephen Dalil, and JT Schmid swam a time of 1:48.39.

The final record to fall was the Mixed 13-14 200 yd Free Relay, both AKC and BCP broke the record however, BCP was faster than AKC, the new record holders are Lily Cleal, Tyler Meyer, Rachel Jones, and Michael Zhang with a time of 1:41.16.  The AKC team of Jackson McManus, Heidi Hilsmeir, Ashley Deabler, and Mac Marsh swam a time of 1:42.54.

And, just like that, the regular season meets are complete!  

In the BLUE division, two CSL league records fell to the Hayden Village boys as they battled against the ever dominant Chinquapin Wahoos.  Big kudos to William Breslin 5th, Vincent Nguyen, Ian Lee, and Thomas Lackey on their Boys 11-12 200 Medley Relay performance that came in just over 2 minutes faster than the previous record and, Emil LaSida, who bested a 6 years old record in the Boys 13-14 Back held by Dennis Lai from 2012.

The Ashburn Village AquaJets continued to fire on all cylinders as they commanded a 200 point lead over the Broadland Piranhas in the Red division. At the same time, a true nail biter was going down between Cascades and Burke Center Stingers who had the only tied meet of the season!

The Gold division saw 4-0 Chase Club snatch the title from 3-1 Sugarland Run by just over 30 points. In fact, all of the Gold division meets this weekend came down to a battle of the relays as the point spreads were all less than 60.

Another league record was set in the White division by the South Riding Stingrays: Boys 13-14 200 Medley Relay broke their own previous record of 2:04.15 with a new record of 2:03.37.  Congratulations to Anderson Moffitt, Nathan Yu, Carlton Krueger, and Sean Yoo!

It was a perfect evening to hold two new Individual medley meets for the Colonial Swim League.
Chantilly National Golf and Country Club hosted their IM Invitational Meet and Chantilly Highlands hosted their IM Tough Meet.  We had 17 of our 24 teams compete in this meet.  Looking over the results, there were quite a few fast swims. At the IM Tough Meet, Jennifer Luong of SRD broke her own record in the 13/14 Girls IM setting a new time of 1:06.31. Looks like there will be lots of competition going forward into the last week of the season.

Complete meet results are available here


Note: Until we can get the website to show these results - the IM times swum in these meets will only show on the pdf ladders.  Sorry.

What a hot day for swimming! And not only the temperature...four records were broken.  13-14 backstroke was broken by both the boys and girls (in separate meets). Chinquapin's Emil LaSida bettered his own 2017 13-14 Boys 50 Yards Backstroke record yet again with a new time of 25.97 and South Rding’s Jennifer Luong broke the 2015 13-14 Girls 50 Meter Backstroke record with a new time of 30.02.  Burke Center Penguins broke 2 league records - a repeat of week 1.   Michael Zhang re-broke his record in the 13-14 Boys 50 Meter Breaststroke at 31.10 and the 11-12 Boys 200M Medley Relay have now set the time at 2:17.14  with the team of  JT Schmid, Stephen Dalil, Christopher Goggins and Joshua Donovan. Congratulations swimmers!

Now let’s talk about team standings.  Each division has one team that remains undefeated, but they haven’t secured their divisions, yet.  Keep on the lookout for next week’s results as July 4th holiday vacations often impacts the line-up.   

A cloudy but otherwise great day for swim meets as our season rolls into week 2...

Three league records were set today! At the league's easternmost pool, Chinquapin's Emil LaSida bettered his own 2017 13-14 Boys 50 Yards Backstroke record with a new time of 26.03, down from 26.56. At Ashburn Farm, something's in the water. With a new time of 2:04.15, South Riding 13-14 Boys 100 Meters Medley Relay team of Anderson Moffitt, Nathan Yu, Carlton Krueger, and Sean Yoo lowered Chinquapin's 2017 mark of 2:04.81. South Riding's Jennifer Luong saved the best for last, crushing the 1:08.25 13-14 Girls 100 Meters IM record that has stood for 13 year with a time of 1:06.42. Three other South Riding's team records were also broken in that meet. WELL DONE!

Elsewhere, Hayden Village's team records were broken by Vincent Nguyen (11-12 50 M Breaststroke) and their 11-12 Boys Medley Relay team. At Saratoga, Chase Club's Angelina Sagaow set a new team record in Girls 11-12 Backstroke. At Sugarland Run, Kyle Johson set a new mark in Boys 15-18 IM. Armfield Farm's 9-10 Boys Medley Relay Team also broke their team record.

This must have been an exiting race to watch: Abby Prahl (Glen Cove) and Chloe Workman (CNC) both clocked 16.00, sharing first place in Girls 9-10 25Y Butterfly.
