All Stars 2011 was filled with lots exciting races and extremely fast swims, but 2 swimmers in particular stood above the crowd on Saturday, August 6 by setting new NVSL records. Fair Oaks' Anthony Grimm established a new record in the 8 & Under Boys 25 Meter Butterfly, posting a time of 16.80, beating the previous mark of 17.10 set by Austin Patteson of Fairfax in 2002. And in the last race of the day, Reanna Dona of host pool Waynewood set a new record in the 15-18 Girls 50 Meter Backstroke with a time of 29.18. Reanna's time bettered the mark of 29.69 set by Mosby Woods' Janet Hu earlier this year. Congratulations to Anthony and Reanna as well to all All Star swimmers! And thank you Waynewood for hosting a truly memorable All Star meet!
Every year at Divisionals a Sportsmanship Award is given to one team in each of the NVSL's 17 divisions. Each team is given three votes toward the award for their division: one vote from the Team Representative, one vote from the coaches and one from the 13 and over team members. The Sportsmanship Award is designed to recognize the team in each division which best exemplifies the principles of good sportsmanship as embodied in the NVSL Standards of Conduct.
Congratulations to the following Sportmanship Award winners for 2011:

The following new NVSL records were set on Saturday, July 30, 2011 at Divisionals:
- Cassidy Bayer of Mount Vernon Park broke her own record of 29.76 set earlier this year in the 11-12 girls 50 meter butterfly, with a new time of 29.71.
- Janet Hu of Mosby Woods broke the record in the 15-18 girls 50 meter butterfly with a time of 27.95. The old record of 28.26 was set in 2010 by Elizabeth Hall of Poplar Tree. Janet set the 15-18 girls backstroke record earlier this year and currently owns an amazing 14 NVSL individual records.
- Andrew Seliskar of McLean broke 2 records. He recorded times of 26.40 in the 13-14 boys 50 meter butterfly (the old record was 26.46 set by Hunter Mill's Sean Fletcher in 2006) and 1:00.29 in the 13-14 boys 100 meter IM (the old record 1:00.97 was set by Oakton's Mike Ott in 1999). These record swims by Andrew were his 5th and 6th of the season, since he was also a member of relays which had 4 record breaking swims earlier this season.
- Chuck Katis of Highlands Swim broke the record in the 15-18 boys 100 meter IM with a time of 57.30, breaking the mark of 57.40 set by Sean Fletcher of Hunter Mill in 2009.
Congratulations Cassidy, Janet, Andrew and Chuck!
On Saturday, July 9, 2011 Mount Vernon Park's Cassidy Bayer recorded a time of 29.76 in the girls 11-12 50 meter butterfly, breaking the previous NVSL record of 30.03 set by Mosby Woods' Janet Hu in 2008. Cassidy's remarkable swim came at Mount Vernon Park in their meet against Donaldson Run. Cassidy's record can be viewed, along with the other League Records, by clicking on the Records tab above. 11 year old Cassidy is also the owner of the NVSL record in the 9-10 girls 25 meter butterfly, which she set in 2010. Way to go Cassidy!
On Monday, May 30th, I received news no team rep would want to hear---Little Hunting Park pool is closed indefinitely due to a fire! In the early morning hours, a fire broke out in the guard's office and spread to the men's bath house, destroying the roof and much of the building. On opening weekend, LHP was shut down for the first time in over 50 years. (from Beth Louison, LHP team rep)
Please read the full article about how NVSL member clubs in the area have lent a helping hand. This is what true sportsmanship is all about. "My heart sunk when I heard about the fire. But, if you want to know why a guy like me stays involve with the NVSL way past the time when his kids aged out of the league, please read this article. For me, it defines why I enjoy being a part of the NVSL as much as I do. The folks that are part of this league are the greatest! My sincere thanks to those teams that reached out to help LHP in their time of need." says Jack Schaeffer, President, NVSL.
