Garrett Park Beats Potomac Glen

The Garrett Park Swim Team(GPST) defeated Potomac Glen on Saturday in their first MCSL Dual Meet(Commonly referred to as an "A" Meet) of the 2021 season. The swim team was unable to have their season last year due to the COVID pandemic. However, along with the sudden reopening in the county, MCSL changed their plans for this season at the last minute. The absence of restrictions allowed MCSL and the swim team to host an almost entirely normal swim season.

The meet against Potomac Glen Swim Team, which was swum at the Garrett Park Pool went rather smoothly. The Ladybugs(Garrett Park) beat the Gators(Potomac Glen) 423.5 to 338.5. That is a slightly higher margin than 3 years ago in 2018, when the Ladybugs beat the Gators 416.5 to 368.5 in Division H. 

Lots of Firsts

This was not only Garrett Park's first dual meet of the 2021 MCSL season. The pandemic interrupting last season caused it to be the first for multiple reasons. It was:
  • Coach Drew Fisher's First A Meet with Garrett Park
  • Coach Drew's First A Meet as a head Coach
  • Garrett Park's First A Meet in the 2021 Season
  • Garrett Park's First A Meet in almost 2 Years
  • The First Time Garrett Park has won a dual meet since beating Lake Marion away(Week 1A) in 2019. 

Broken Records

Two Garrett Park swimmers broke pool records at the meet. Maren Conze broke the 15-18 Girls 100 meter backstroke record from 1981. Phoenix Vaonakis broke the 11-12 boys 50 meter freestyle record from 2019.
