    Hi.. Glad to see you covering the Yorktown -FC meet. However, I think you have misidentified the FC swimmer. I believe that is Sydney Langer not Laura Schwartz.

    Why put the club names at all? That’s just advertisement. AND, some great swimmers/divers don’t swim/dive with year-round clubs.

    I appreciate your input and I am aware that there are great swimmers who do not train with club teams. However, we include the club teams to recognize the excellent coaching that has helped those particular swimmers mentioned get to the national level. I don’t believe they would disagree with me giving their club teams and coaches credit.
