BREA Swimmers recognized by SCS
(06-13-09)
On Sunday, May 17th, the Southern California Swimming (SCS) committee held their annual award banquet.
Different from previous years of top 16, this event honored athletes who have been ranked Nationally among the fastest ten swims by event and age.
As the new National Top 10 awards begin at age 11, they also honored the SCSRT Top 3 in the 10 and under age group. There are over 270,000 members of USA Swimming from beginners to Olympians. These swimmers have distinguished themselves during the 2007-2008 SC and/or 2008 LC seasons by attaining a ranking as one of the fastest 10 in the country by age and by event, including the relays.
These swimmers have achieved a notable and international level of accomplishment! The following swimmers were recognized at the banquet:
