Divisionals Recap: 3rd Time Still the Charm

March 29th – 31st, Athens, Ga.

For the third time in three years, ABSC is your Northeast Divisional Champion Swim Team! You can find final team scores for women, men, and combined here! Full meet results can be found here..

Just like always, the Dawgs faced stiff competition from our competitors from the rest of Northeast Georgia. They swam hard and brought some great effort to the meet, but in the end the Dawgs still managed to pull out the victory.

Of all the teams in the meet, ABSC accomplished the highest percentage of personal best time swims, and astounding (65%)!!! We had countless finals swims, relay victories, new qualifying times and even team records.

The medal count was exciting to look at, as ABSC placed first in 50 events, second in 39, and third in 42 events, for a grand total of 131 medals! The second place team had 90.

Our relays stood out in particular, as we placed first overall in 10 out of our 22 relays!! We placed first or second in 18 out of 20, with the other two being a third place finish, and a DQ.

Here is a list of some of those accomplishments below, along with a list of our team high-point winners for each age group:
