The YMCA Yankee Cluster Championships for the 2010 long course season was held this past weekend by the Northern Middlesex YMCA.  This YMCA swim meet marks the end of the Hamden/North Haven YMCA Typhoons swim season (the next season’s registration starts August 1st), and all of the swimmers in attendance did a phenomenal job in their events!  Here is a quick synopsis of the two day meet which was attended by a total of 10 YMCA swim teams:

• Out of 17 total swimmers, there were 16 events that the Typhoons scored points
• 9 total place winners (4th through 12th)
• 7 total 1st through 3rd place finishes
• 88% of swimmers achieved personal best times
• Several individual team records broken

Overall, it was a great meet for all of the swimmers as we had a fun time on the pool deck both Friday and Saturday.  This has been a great season for the Typhoons, and I greatly look forward to the upcoming short course season which starts in September with our pre-season clinic.  Have a great August, rest up, and we will see you on deck in September!
