Only Shooting Stars Break The Mold

Wonder what it takes to be an All Star Champion? Last Saturday out of the 48 first place winners, 36 (or 75%) dropped time for the win.
There has also been discussion as to whether or not Broyhill Crest was a fast pool. Of the 868 swims on Saturday, 407 swimmers (47%) dropped time. Also, 4 NVSL records were broken. Broyhill Crest is definitely not a slow pool; however, with less than half of the swimmers dropping time it cannot claim to be in the upper echelon of fast NVSL pools such as Cardinal Hill or Tuckahoe.
Below, listed by age group are the number of drops in time per event as well as whether first place dropped time or was seeded first.
