We're back online ..... As many of you noticed, the TVSC web site has been offline for a week. The reason was that we changed our web site host from GeoCities to Port Internet, a local Internet Service Provider (ISP). As a non-profit organization, the TVSC web site is hosted for free by Port Internet. Thanks, Russ.

8 and Under Highlights Taylor DaSilva 3rd Place Highpoint Numerous Best Times 
I woke up early on a weekend, drove over the Throgg's Neck Bridge and went to a swim meet. Bill Murray in Groundhog's Day. Nope. The Metropolitan 8 and Under Championships.
The coaches and swimmers had a great experience at the meet as the team swam very well and everyone came away with at least a couple of best times. TVSC brought in the heavy hitters for the 6 & Unders with Taylor DaSilva finishing 3rd overall, while Jessica Narus finished 10th.
In the 7 & Unders, Kristen Purdy finished 6th overall and had strong support from Cassidy Brennan and Ms. Ruchi Tandon. The old maids and gents of the meet, the 8 & Unders, swam great as well. They included Jenna Birkmire, Gabriele Ciurinskaite, Theresa DeLucia, Marissa Farrington, Nina Garambone, Celine Rivera, Lee Brett, Matthew Coleman, Jack Constant and his buddy Kyle Papish.
The last two were attracting a lot of attention from the ladies, Molly anyways. Nice Job! [Full Meet Results]
