The League meet schedule of the Colonial Swimming League's 50th season concluded today under beautiful skies, as the last of the four Division champions was crowned. Homestanding Sugarland Run won their showdown with the previously unbeaten Arlington Knights of Columbus, winning 236 to 201 to take the Gold Division crown. The Dolphins led from wire-to-wire at this meet, but never by very much until they pulled away late during the relays.
And it was a good year for teams starting with the letter 'F', as Franklin Farm, Fort Myer, and Franklin Glen all completed perfect seasons and won the Red, White, and Blue Divisions, respectively.
It was also a good year for teams wearing plaid suits.

There was yet another League record set during the week. This past Wednesday at Barrington, the Blue Fins' Brandon Fabian broke his own record time of 1:05.20 in the Boys 11-12 100Y Individual Medley, churning explosively to a time of 1:04.88.
Congratulations and way to go, Brandon!
It's been a busier season than usual on the Record Breaker front, and this past week was no exception. It started last Wednesday at Sugarland Run, as CountrySide's Janika Perezous erased 64 years worth of CSL records in a matter of hours. In the Girls 8&Under 25Y Backstroke, her time of 17.99 eclipsed the 1977 mark of 18.30. And in the Girls 8&Under 100Y Individual Medley, the 1981 record time of 1:31.01 was smashed by her new record time of 1:28.07.
Saturday at Barrington, the Blue Fins' Brandon Fabian also doubled up on new records, first in the Boys 11-12 50Y Freestyle where his time of 24.95 nipped the previous mark of 25.01, set twenty-nine years ago. Just ten events later in the Boys 11-12 50Y Backstroke, he bettered the 1997 record time of 29.53 with a swim of 29.26. Wrapping things up was Rachel Canty of the Burke Centre Stingers, whose time of 1:01.52 in the Girls 15-18 100Y Individual Medley surpassed the mark of 1:03.35 set earlier this season.
On Sunday, it was back to Sugarland Run. Striking first was Barrington's Boys 15-18 200Y Medley relay, as Shane Hulse, Nick Hietanen, Michael Herrmann, and Alex Martin zipped to a new record time of 1:45.06, beating last year's mark of 1:45.73. One event later, it was a "deja vu all over again" performance by the Hayden Village Villains' Morgan Bui, Matty Ferguson, Natalie Dillinger, and MacKenzie Cripe, recording a time of 1:57.79 and shattering the 1984 mark of 1:59.36 in the Girls 15-18 200Y Medley relay.
Congratulations and well done -- Janicka, Brandon, Rachel, Shane, Nick, Michael, Alex, Morgan, Matty, Natalie, and MacKenzie!

Three of the four Division titles were captured this weekend, with one still hanging in the balance. Franklin Glen ran their record to 4-0, and thereby clinched the Blue Division title, as their Week 1 victory over ManorGate gives them the tiebreaker over the 3-1 Marlins. In the White Division, 4-0 Fort Myer is ensured of claiming the crown by virtue of their early season wins over Chantilly Highlands and Barrington, who will battle it out this weekend for second place. And in the Red Division, unbeaten Franklin Farm finally broke a long title drought, capturing the trophy on the strength of their wins over Broadlands and South Riding, who also figure to have a good meet against each other this weekend.
The Gold Division is still up for grabs. It will be decided this coming Saturday when the Holy Mackerels from AKC visit Sugarland Run in what should be an exciting meet.
In this past weekend's action, homestanding next door neighbors Chase Club and Hayden Village both won the last five relays but came up one relay short in their respective battles with Chinquapin and CountrySide. And there were a couple a exciting Red Division nailbiters, both of which were much closer the final score, as Cascades nipped the Burke Centre Penguins (14 lead changes, 43 single digit leads) and Franklin Farm barely got by South Riding. (7 lead changes, 32 single digit leads, came down to the Mixed relays)
At yesterday's CSL Relay Carnival there were two repeat Division winners, as Arlington Knights of Columbus and ManorGate lifted their respective Gold Division and Blue Division trophies again. In the White Division, the Fort Myer Squids hoisted the hardware, and it was the Franklin Farm Froggers narrowly winning the Red Division cup.
There are a significant number of league records to announce, but we're still missing the details on a couple of them. The plan is to wait until we have those details and post them all at once.

There was no shortage of close meets this week. The Armfield Farm at Barrington meet had 7 lead changes, 35 events after which there was a single digit lead, and it came down to the next to last relay. Franklin Glen won by only 6 at Sequioa Farms in another meet that was decided by the last two relays. In Arlington, Chase Club won the last four relays but came up one point short against the Holy Mackerels. And the ManorGate at Hayden Village meet featured 9 lead changes, a whopping 41 events with under-10-point leads, and it also was not decided until the last two events.
Fort Myer and Franklin Glen now appear to have control over the White and Blue Divisions, respectively, with both teams having already beaten their closest pursuers. In the Gold Division, the Arlington Knights of Columbus stand alone at the top, but their week 5 showdown at Sugarland Run will likely end up deciding the title. And in the Red Division, unbeatens South Riding and Franklin Farm meet this weekend to break the tie. Note that Chase Club and Broadlands are still very much in the Gold and Red Division races, respectively, with their 2-1 records.
In addition to the close meet at Barrington, there were four league record breaking performances there. In the Boys 15-18 50Y Backstroke, Blue Fin standout Michael Herrmann continued his family's multi-year assault on this standard, this time lowering it to 25.28. In the Boys 11-12 100Y Individual Medley, Barrington's Brandon Fabian swam a time of 1:05.20, breaking the 37-year old record of 1:05.80. In the Boys 13-14 100Y Individual Medley, Armfield Farm's Dennis Lai surpassed the old mark of 59.90 with a new time of 58.09. And finally in the Boys 15-18 100Y Individual Medley, Michael Herrmann struck again, swimming a time of 55.58, and nipping by 0.03 seconds the old mark set in 1986.
Congratulations Brandon, Dennis, and Michael! Way to go!
Except in the Gold Division, it was a great week to be the home team during this 2nd round of CSL dual meets. In all, ten out of twelve sides were the host-with-the-most (points), including home sweeps in the Red, White, and Blue Divisions.
More league record breakers this week... At Ashburn Village this past Wednesday, CountrySide's Janika Perezous swam to her second record of the season, clocking a time of 1:34.05 in the Girls 8&Under 100M Individual Medley, bettering the 15-year old mark of 1:34.88.
And today at Glen Cove, Emma Merrill of Chase Club zipped to a time of 1:01.35 in the Girls 15-18 100Y Individual Medley, smashing the previous mark of 1:04.05 set in 2005.
Congratulations, Janika and Emma! Way to go!

The Stingrays, who have won their two 2011 meets by a combined five points, next face undefeated Franklin Glen in a battle of Blue Division unbeatens.
Undefeateds Chase Club and Arlington Knights of Columbus also face off this coming Saturday for the inside track to the Gold Division title. In the White Division, Fort Myer stands alone at the top, while South Riding and Franklin Farm lead the way in the Red Division.

The Colonial Swim League's 50th season got off to a good start today under warm sunny skies, with one League record already falling.
In the Girls 8&Under 25M Backstroke, CountrySide standout Janika Perezous made it official this week, bettering the previous 34-year old record of 20.20 with a sparkling time of 19.97. Congratulations, Janika!
There were a couple of very interesting meets today. Trailing by 41 points at CountrySide after event 46, Sequoia Farms managed to win the final six relays and the Stingrays edged the Waves, 222 to 221.
And down at Burke Centre, the Penguins and Franklin Farm exchanged the lead 10 times, including 6 times during the relays, before the Froggers eventually prevailed, 226 to 218.
To keep their certifications current, CSL officials must attend clinics and pass appropriate tests at least every two years, as described in this detailed recertification document. Annual recertification is recommended.
New CSL officials, in addition to attending the clinic and passing the test, must work three (3) apprentice ("shadow") sessions and submit the Referee sign-off on cover sheet to the CSL Certification Manager.
Please refer to these 2011 Officials Certification Procedures to get yourselves up-to-date for the summer 2011 season.
And for your convenience, here is the 2011 Officials Test.
Finally, for your handy-handy reference, here is a compilation (as of July 21, 2011) of CSL officials certification information.
Updated versions of the CSL Meet Rules and the CSL Bylaws are now available in the Document Center. Revision summaries for 2011 can be found at the end of each document.
Everyone will want to take note of the new rule regarding swim caps. Also, officials, team reps and Hy-Tek operators will also want to make themselves aware of the rule change pertaining to the computer merge at Dual meets.
At Developmental meets this summer, CSL will be moving to a new event structure for 8&Unders. The intent of the change is to mitigate some of the problems we've had for years which are associated with the current 1/1A separation of 7-8s from 6&Unders.
From an end-user perspective (end user = parent or swimmer), there won't be much of a difference. Results and ribbons will be very much like they are now, with 6&Unders and 7-8s separated. However, volunteers will be affected in various ways.
For more details, please dive into our Powerpoint presentation on the subject, either in glorious color (suitable for online viewing) or in (easily downloadable and printable) black and white.
All general Hy-Tek materials for 2011 are now available in the Document Center.
