NVSL News

It’s interesting to note that not every NVSL record broken becomes an official NVSL record. First off, an individual record setting swim must occur at one of the 5 allotted Saturday dual meets throughout the season, or during Divisionals or All-Stars. Granted a record is broken, the swimmer’s birthday, team, and original time card must all be verified before declaring the record “official.”

This past Monday, Sean Fletcher swam his way to an “unofficial” NVSL record in the 15-18 Boys 100 Meter I.M. finishing the event in 58.12, besting Steve Scheren’s 58.50 from 2005.

Why is Fletcher’s record “unofficial”? Well, this past Monday a group of 15-18 boys gathered for what has been dubbed “The B-Meet of the Century.” The idea was to gather some of the NVSL’s top 15-18 Boys in a 100 I.M. showdown. Included in the field was Sean Fletcher, last year’s champion at All-Stars in the event. Since the swim occurred during a Monday night meet, the record will not yet hit the books “officially.” However, look for a grueling rematch at this year’s All-Stars as the boys make things “official.”
