It was the top swimmers vs the top swimmers in all of the Prince-Mont Swim League on a hot, sunny Saturday morning at Whitehall Pool and Tennis Club in Bowie. The NCR Dolphins of Division "C" showed the league that they are among the elite swimmers in the area with stunning, outstanding performances, setting two league records (one relay, one individual), three team away records during the event and three first place finishes and seventeen top 2 through 10 finishes (and only having swimmers in 18 of the 49 total events...pretty good for an 0-5 team!).

The Eleanor Roosevelt Quad of Emma Varner, Stephanie Goldbeck, Kendall Irish and Hannah Betman blew away the competition in the Girls 200 Yard Medley Relay to open the onslaught in a league record breaking performance of 2:09.12 to establish a record that may not be broken for some time. They beat a very fast team from Takoma Park by almost 6 seconds, which in this race is a lot.

Kendall Irish then won the Girls 15-18 Fly beating some heady competition from Marissa Gentry of Takoma Park, outtouching her by .19 at the wall in a time of 30.64, just missing the league record by less than a second. It was Kendall's last fly swim for NCR, and she picked a great time to show her stuff to the hundreds gathered at the event.

In her last race for NCR, Stephanie Goldbeck broke the league record, Whitehall pool record and home away meet record in the Girls 15-18 Breaststroke, setting the new mark at 34.63. That record was set in 1991 by Ruth Kominski of Strathmore Bel-Pre (as was the pool record). Her closest competition was Amina Wilson of Takoma Park, and she was almost 4 seconds behind Stephanie at the finish. Way to end your Dolphin's career, Steph. Congratulations!
